Community Market Crashing

[inquisitorlord]

The Community Market keeps crashing when I try to buy things. I can't see any restrictions on my account.

Try from another browser.

I can't send requests to buy or list cards for badges... it works once in a while, but I've tried from desktop and mobile, and it keeps timing out or saying the marketplace is unavailable. Is there some kind of load issue? what's going on? I'm trying to level up my badges and can't. :(

This is exactly what I'm getting.

It's a loading issue, been happening for quite some time. Just keep refreshing the page till it loads.

It's been happening since last year or so. I'm surprised it's still an issue and hasn't been fixed ... annoying as hell constantly hitting "refresh" to make a sell or even view an item. The market definitely needs a fix and update.

I've been able to contact someone at valve about this. I've just sent a screenshot of the problem, and a link to this thread. Hopefully they can fix it.

its been like for a while now and when I do use the steam market im really careful and slow with going to the next page and at some point you may hit some form a stabillety.

I keep getting the "can't connect to server" error when trying to complete a set in one go with "Buy remaining cards on the Market".
And annoyingly enough quite soon after a few attempts "you made too many requests".

Seems to work so-so when buying the cards one by one tho. Still needs a few refreshes now and then. But at least that works.

Well, I've had this response. I don't know if it helps.


"It looks like you have had a successful Market transaction since contacting us.

When we are experiencing high trade and Market volume across Steam, we can temporarily see some negative effects on the speed of our item servers.

Unfortunately, Steam Support cannot manually resolve these item delays, and we can only recommend you wait and try again later. 

Please continue using the Market normally and let us know if this issue persists.
