Steam Restriction

Question

I purchased and redeemed multiple $5 steam gift cards and it said a month ago that I need to wait 30 days before I can use the community market. It's been 30 days and I am still restricted...

Steam is having trouble using your browser's cookie.

The account must have a successful purchase older than 30 days, but not older than a year. You also cannot have recently changed your account's password.

This restriction will expire in 29 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes.

It's been like this all month and hasn't gone down. What do I need to do, to remove the restriction?

Answer 1

You will need to follow the directions that the message is giving you. Specifically:

The account must have a successful purchase older than 30 days, 
but not older than a year. You also cannot have recently changed 
your account's password.

This is to prevent fraud within the platform. I can't imagine why you would want to purchase things from the Community Market without actually purchasing any games first, but that's your deal.

You do not need to purchase a full AAA $60 game for it to count.

You will still need to wait the 30 days to use the cards though.
