So how do I sell stuff on steam effectively? Just removed steam Guard cause it's a fucking mess.

>To log into steams mobile app you need the code which you will recieve if you're logged into steams mobile app

I was almost not able to remove the mobile authenticator cause when it gave me the original code it switched every 5 seconds

Steam trading was a mistake.

Why would you trade anything on Steam ever? I mean, why get involved in a game that has the bullshit crate and trade system as a central mechanic?

you can't trade unless you have steam guard you moron

Fuck this whole system and fuck every retarded moron who lost their shit and whined to valve endlessly to put in this system, you deserve to get ripped off if youre that fucking stupid.

I don't understand what the fucking deal is with you autistic shitfucks. Yes it sucks they force you to use it but the alternative is to either check your fucking mail every time it wants to authenticate you or have it sends you a text message. I'd much rather it just be an app, my phone is with me everywhere anyway.

You fucking dyslexic retard faggot, the codes change every 30 seconds. How fucking retarded do you have to be that 30 seconds is not enough time? And anyway, all you need is the recovery code. Write it down and stick it on the back of your computer or fucking whatever.
>>
It's not difficult you eejit. It changes every 30 seconds.

And once you've got the mobile thing set up you press two things and it puts the item on the market.

I've been doing it like this for a while now and it's absolutely fine. Sure it could be easier but you have to thank the idiots for that.

Steam Guard is fine. Takes 5 additional seconds to log in and works great as an additional security layer.

If you're logged out of the app on your phone, restart your phone and it'll auto log you in. You can also lock your phone the second you log in and it'll give you a notification with your code.

the app fucking tells you the code and asks that you write it down

literally retard proof, too bad steam users are all super retards
>>
>>343905746
You open the app and it defaults to the "steam guard" tab that always shows the current code updated in real time with the 30 second timer visible, and if you enable notifications it sends a notification which will just show on your lockscreen. Don't even need to open the app.

>>343887246
4 years ago it was grand, it literally translated to free vidya without needing more than a spare hour. You only needed to trade $5 in items for $5 in keys, then trade those to a ruskie for a free vidya back when region lock was not a thing. I got about 4 games out of it without needing to adapt to the same tactics as ruskies, chinese and other people who used tools to locate targets, usually kids who got their first unusual.

YOU the average tf2 player could participate in the market without the need for backpack scanners, bots, scripts and several iddle accounts.

Then quite a lot of changes happened and now it is not worth no one's time.

Steam Guard is all right but it badly needs some way to take the value of your items into account. I don't need two step verification to sell 5 cent cards and crates.

To make matters worse, simply having Steam Guard enabled is no longer enough. Steam now demands I use their mobile authenticator app or face 15 day holds on market and 1 day hold on friend trades.

Well fuck you Valve. My phone is more likely to keep me locked out of my account. You should be more than satisfied with my e-mail for two step verification.

>TF2 competitive beta requires the mobile authenticator as well for no reason at all
Now you're just being assholes Valve.

>>343886885
Yup. I didn't think much of it because 5 cents here, 12 there for cards never meant shit to me. Then during the sale I figured on the last day I'd dump duplicate cards and get a badge level or two.

Nope. 15 day wait? Get fucked, Valve. I won't even bother looking at this shit again and there is zero reason you need my phone number or force an app on me for a 5 cent fucking card that expires in under a week in the first place.
>>
>no smart phone to link to steam guard
>running PC authenticator that may very well decrease my account's security just to get around gaben's fatass 15 day trading hold

i'm just suffering through the half-month hold on steam pennies. i don't feel like having a windows authenticator end up being a trojan or some kinda vulnerability that lets an RU mobster's script steal my account when the whole convoluted system was supposed to be designed to prevent it, just because 13 year old morons follow the links that their favorite e-celeb scam artist puts on his page to direct them to a completely illegal and rigged gambling operation he owns

Selling and trading on Steam has become such a chore that all I did with my summer cards was buy enough to get a badge with what I had left in my steam wallet and called it a day. I can't imagine this has been a profitable move for them, so why are they still pushing it?

You literally cared enough about a useless badge that you went out and spend money just to get it? With people like you I'm sure Valve is still drowning in profits.

It's money I had from selling free drops before this all happened, dipshit. Valve gets part of every trade. Making trades harder is bad business.
