I am restricted from marketplace for about 6 days because i changed my password. It really is annoying and i cant write them in privat... The support does nothing to fix small problems (I want to buy something for 70 cents) . Like i can verify myself as the owner of my own account, then why should i wait 6 days for it to expire ? This is so stupid and i think it needs to be changed.

Changing your password does not restrict you BUT resetting it does.

It is a 5 day restriction for an active account.

An inactive account (one not used for months) all of a sudden needing to reset the password is suspicious for Valve and is restricted for 30 days.

It's been this way since the beginning.
