I found this tedious, having to verify to list when selling cards , was this a more recent change because I don't remember it being this way before, anyways I want that change reverted because I found it quite annoying

Market confirmations for all items was added back shortly after the Spring Sale ended.

No announcement about the rollback of the "Relaxed Confirmation Requirements."

Everyone must confirm every listing now.

Years ago you had to always confirm an item no matter the price but then people selling cards etc complained about having to keep confirming every time they took items off the market to lower the price or add new ones.

So, Valve upped the limit to a quid, dollar etc, this kept most folks happy. However, because people couldn't stop getting scammed, they reintroduced the confirm all policy because people were having items sold for pennies when they were worth a lot more after having their accounts hi-jacked, I doubt it will go back now

Blame the users that continue to login on dodgy sites and then whine when the hijacker then buys things of the market for jacked up prices.

The original change notes were this "Items that typically sell for under $1.00 USD will no longer require confirmation when the list price is reasonably within the median price, but confirmation will still be required once many of those cheaper items are listed. Confirmation will still be required on all rare and valuable items."

So I'm a bit curious how this led to more issue's with scamming if it was working properly. It should have prevented hi-jackers undervaluing anything over $1 and selling it for pennies. It should also have prevented selling something with a going rate of say 50 cents for pennies.

I find the change rather puzzling.

Steam doesnt force anyone to sell at X price. All it takes is a scammer getting 30 seconds with an account and they can sell all the valuables to themselves for a cent a piece, and then buy their own ♥♥♥♥ listings for the $40 the scam target was dumb enough to leave in their wallet
