That limit is more when your spending/gifting habits are out of the ordinary. I think the regions you gift to matter a bit as well. But I haven't hit it this sale and I've spent like $500 between personal games and gifts.
Hmmm...that could explain it. Never gifted before and hadn't spent any money since March (which was actually the only previous time I'd spent anything in Steam).

There's no new Discovery Queue for today either, so no free trading card. Seems like a bug in the daily update. Might be fixed at some point today, so I would probably check in on it later.
I managed to get my Discovery Queue badge today :s There's definitely something up though, even if not everyone's being affected in the same way.

Man, Steam just hates me. I can't get today's free sticker - yesterday's one is still there and the countdown for tomorrow's has started. Wouldn't care normally as I don't ever see myself using the stickers but it's just problem after problem today :(

EDIT: Not just me then. I CAN keep moaning about Steam! (though I won't - I'm sure you've all had enough as it is!)

@jojopellegrino https://store.steampowered.com/ - click on the massive Summer Sale pic/link/whatever that takes up most of the screen, then there's an empty space (normally) to the right of the new large picture thingy (sorry, but I don't know the right word) which will say something along the lines of "Click here to claim your free sticker for today"

On a note that isn't me whinging about Steam which seems like all I've done today :/; what border do people think works best with my profile pic? I'm completely undecided.

Yeah, but gamefaqs now won't let me PM as I swore in my last one and it froze! The send button is now permentantly greyed out for me! XD I hate modern technology!

@Alakazamtrainer check your Steam - you were one of the lucky few that Steam would allow me to gift!

I've never had so much hassle with a company since AOL refused to cancel my free internet trial back in ~'96! Steam just doesn't seem to want my money :|

EDIT: If I'm still around (and have money!) when/if this is done again, I might just transfer money to people instead of gifting them! Will save me so much stress! XD

You could check other sites (such as gog) and buy them keys for the games, assuming they are available on those sites.
Have been trying that, but can't find them on other sites - or if I can they're full price and I can't afford them :(

Cheers for the advice though.

I swear Steam actively makes it difficult to spend your money on their site! So many problems I've had today :( I'm sooooo glad I choose the login name I did for Steam (hint - it's not particularly complimentary of Steam!)

So I've sent two gifts and now Steam's locked me out of gifting anymore? Exact wording: It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again.

I kinda understand why (CC fraud) but still... >:( Anyone know how long I have to wait before I can gift again?

Edit: Also 2 gifts (less than 10 total) is a ridiculously low limit before putting a block on >:(

It varies from game to game. The publishers set the regional prices and if the price difference is more than 10% it doesn't let you gift.
Ah, thank you.

Crafting badges from a full set of trading card
Been looking for how to craft in the FAQ; it's about the only thing it doesn't cover, so many thanks for that (as well as all your other help) :)

Shame that backgrounds are pretty much RNG, but I didn't even know they existed until a few days ago so I shouldn't be too put out I guess.

Does anyone know why the number of friends you can have is tied into your level? I presume it's just to try and get people who need more spaces to spend more money? Seems rather stupid though imo. Doubt it'll ever affect me but still... :/

Hover over on *your steam name* menu, the one on the far right. Click Badges. Your Steam level(including xp till next level) is displayed at the top of that page. This page is also for checking your badge progress(trading cards are dropped by games that decided to include them, though only half the total cards for the game can drop. Yes, dupes can drop, and you will either have to trade with other players or pay for cards to complete a badge, unless you are very patient and get lucky with booster pack drops.
Cheers :) I noticed there's a FAQ link there too, so will read that in a bit. Only level 3 atm, lol.

Steam has xp levels? How do I find mine? Only been on Steam since lockdown started and haven't really bothered with the aesthitics much outside of a name change and profile pic. Is there a dummies guide to the benefits of levelling up anywhere?

Also, kinda related, I've been looking into profile backgrounds since TroutPaste mentioned them in the first thread. I can't find anything I like and, to my knowledge, can't import my own. Are the backgrounds tied into the games you own or something? Are new ones ever added? Is there a way to actually create your own or not? Actually, come to think about it, a dummies guide to backgrounds (hell, Steam in general I guess! =D ) would also be appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction :) I just want a colourful psychedelic / abstract background really.

From what I gathered from the fall-out, it works but is nowhere near as safe. Obviously, being an electrician by trade (and he did end up becoming head of H&S at his company, so this might've had something to do with it), he would always go for the safest option.
