For a complete list of Market restrictions and requirements to use The Community Market, please view our Market and Trade Restrictions FAQ> and our Limited User Account FAQ.
Why don't I see all of my items when I try to sell something?
When selecting an item to sell on the Community Market, only items that are eligible to be sold will be visible. Steam Support is unable to modify items in your inventory to allow them to be sold on the Community Market.
How are cross-currency transactions handled in the Community Market?
Sellers will always list items for sale in the native currency of their Steam Wallet, and buyers will always see Community Market prices expressed in the native currency of their Steam Wallet. For items listed for sale in a different currency than the buyer's Steam Wallet currency, we apply an exchange rate which we update daily. You must be signed into your Steam account to view the correct currency. If you do not see your local currency on the Community Market this is likely due to never funding your Steam Wallet on the account. You can find out more on how to fund your Steam Wallet by visiting the Steam Wallet FAQ.
Where can I see my Community Market transactions?
Your Community Market history is accessible from the top of the Community Market home page, as well as from your Account Details page in the Steam Store. A receipt for each transaction will also be emailed to you.
Restrictions
What kind of Steam Wallet and item listing restrictions apply?
Currently we are restricting Steam Wallet balances to $500. We also limit the maximum price of a single listing on the market to $400. You will be restricted from listing items for sale in the Community Market if the existing balance in your Steam Wallet, plus the sale price of the item(s), would together exceed the $500 limit. We may be raising the Steam Wallet balance limit, or otherwise changing this restriction, in the future. Note that, if you have multiple accounts, balances for all Steam Wallets associated with all of your accounts will be aggregated for purposes of applying this limit.
Are there minimum or maximum sales prices for items in the Community Market?
Currently there is no minimum sales price, although we may decide to impose a minimum price in the future. Currently, the maximum price for any particular item is $400.
Why is Steam Guard required?
We require Steam Guard to be enabled for 15 days to help protect your items and Steam Wallet funds from being misused by somebody who may have illicitly obtained your account.
Can I withdraw or transfer funds from my Community Market sales/transactions?
No. All Community Market sales and purchases are completed using the Steam Wallet. The funds cannot be withdrawn or transferred to another Steam account or to a bank/3rd party account. You may use the funds to purchase Steam gifts to send to other users.
Why are some of my items not eligible?
All items purchased in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 can’t be sold on the Community Market for seven (7) days. Additionally, newly purchased Dota 2 treasures are not marketable or tradable for the set amount of time noted on their store page.
