I didn't understand, I supose english isnt your main language but i'll try to make it clear.
If you want to set your cards as "tradable" you need to buy a game on your secondary account and activate it.
You can also buy a gift at your main account and send it as a gift to your secondary account but you need to activate the gift so it goes to your game library.

That doesn't work.

No, English is not my native language, but I think my English is fairly decent. ;-) It's just hard to describe the situation sometimes ... in any language.
What confuses me is, that according to Steam help, activating a gift does not lift the restrictions, while buying one should do the trick. You, on the contrary are saying that both should work.
Anyway, the piece of information is that the cards I already have on that account will become tradable once the restrictions are lifted. That's what I wanted to know. Thanks for the quick answer.

You must make the purchase on the account you wish to unlock.
"Note:
CD Keys, retail purchases, and gifts do not remove limited user restrictions. See How do I gain access to these features? below for more information.
Steam Support cannot remove this limited user status from your account."

I thought limited accounts couldn't drop cards at all.
What features are unavailable to me?
"Gaining Steam Profile Levels (Locked to level 0) and Trading Cards"
At least that's what it says here https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3330-IAGK-7663#

He's not farming cards on the alt he is using the alt as storage.
Main account farms cards, sends them to the alt account.
As to the OP, Carlica afaik everything will become tradeable that would otherwise be tradeable once you get the account limits lifted.

Ahh I misread, the trade limit will be lifted afaik from what I've read as soon as the $5 limit is met.

I would imagine they would unlock, but the only way to know for sure (without spending anything) would be to contact Steam support.
Did you farm the cards with IdleMaster or on your own? There could be a bug, too bad steam doesn't have a bug reward program heh.

I farmed them on my own by modifying steam_appid.txt of one of the games in the library. I like that better than using a third party software, but essentially it's what IdleMaster does. And I'd rather not contact Steam Support because they might just shutdown both of my accounts.

I don't think you would see your accounts shut down, they've never shut down anyone using Idlemaster or changing the app ID themselves before afaik but I understand why you don't want to risk contacting them.
In theory, they should be tradeable after you have access to the market however it is steam so there is always a small chance that it will not work out logically. I mean, I would look at it just like TF2 items or CS:Go items.

Well I heard horror stories, of people getting suspended for just asking too many questions. Not sure, if they're true, but according to their subscriber agreement, strictly you don't own the games, so they can do pretty much what they please. Anyway, best way to find out is probably to just unlock that account with a gift to my main account, that way I won't spend anything that I wouldn't have anyway. Only problem is to find anything worth spending, that might as well take until xmas sale, as I'm very picky in what I buy.

That's an excellent idea. I just did as you suggested and those cards all became tradable. The only catch is probably, that it may take me months to find something to spend that money on. As I said I'm picky. ;-) Anyway, I'll close the topic ... thanks for all your help. It's appreciated.

Untradeable cards will unlock after you get limit lifted.
Previously it was easier to unlock, you needed just cheap game with cards to unlock. (DIE gifts worked too). Before that even keys worked.
Source: Have unlocked account with both limits.

got a quick question about Steam trading cards and account restrictions... I recently opened a second Steam account in order to farm a few cards from games, that I don't want to taint my main account with. Sadly, all the cards I got on that account are tagged "not tradable", which after some reading is probably because my secondary account is limited due to fact that I didn't bother to buy anything from Steam store with that account. What really sucks, Steam help doesn't even mention that restriction, just that limited accounts have no access to community market or can't send friend requests and so forth, which I'd be fine with. Help does say, that the restriction would be lifted if I bought a gift for $5 or more, the question is just, would this also affect the cards I already have or would those remain forever untradable? I'd have no problem in making my next purchase via gift option from my secondary account, but if the cards would just stay stuck, I'd rather just dump the secondary account, forget about it and accept that I won't farm cards if I don't like the game associated with.
