I was in the middle of a trade, seller asked for keys, I added funds to my wallet using Paypal, as I had recently cleared my cookies/etc. and I wanted it to be faster than looking for the credit card number.

Steam tells me I can't use the market until they verify the funds. Screenshot of what it says, in Spanish.

Fuck my life, in the middle of the summer sales.

Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

Can I add funds again with the verified credit card to "unlock" the market again?

EDIT: Thanks for the replies, and thanks for the Steam chat advice, I guess I'll have to wait.

That's why you should always buy through paypal instead of adding funds from it to your wallet.

You should never use paypal to add funds to your steam wallet. Paypal sucks for Steam.

Corrected for you.

Yeah, we have to wait 7 days every time a new method is used. That includes using different credit cards. I thought it would be a 1 time thing only, but no, I'm stuck till the 19th too.

lol, it's happening to me too today. I don't know about that restriction before.

So I bought any game on daily deal and trade it on Outpost for keys. Sure this takes much longer time and you maybe lose one or two bucks, but at least Summer Sale is ended for me after I get the game I wanted.

Happening to me too. These extreme security systems are real crap sometimes. And support can't do anything. Double crap.

Maybe u could try buying a steam gift card from a store, and adding funds that way. If theyre available in your area.

Quick question, is the 7 day wait every time you change your payment method, or every time you use a new payment method? For example, I used Card A to purchase funds in the past, but my most recent purchase was with Card B. If I use Card A again, do I need to wait again even though Steam has already verified that card in the past?

I think it's just for new payment methods, at least that's what I get from their description.

With new I mean completely new.
