Cannot buy cards on the Community Market
I wanted to complete some badges and buy missing cards on the market. I'm trying to buy all missing cards at once. This feature used to work for me, but now it's not working. Whenever I click the green "purchase" button in every position I receive an error in purchase saying that I need to approve the purchase in the Steam App. I open the app and click approve on all notifications but the purchase does not resume from that. When I try to click the button again, it says that I have tried too many times to buy something without app approvals - but I clicked approve on every app notification every time they popped. After waiting for some time the loop repeats: trying to buy -> rejects with info I need to approve -> I approve everything -> nothing happens -> I click buy again -> info says too many purchases without approvals etc.

Did you ever get any information on this because I have been trying to buy the last card for my Elden Ring set but it keeps telling me to do the email verification. Even after the verification and me approving it, nothing changes

I have exactly the same problem getting many mails to verify but still cannot buy even if I click yes.

Leave the steam market page up of whatever item you are trying to buy then confirm it on your phone and it will work.

Same problem. I left the market page open, but nothing happened. How long should I leave the page open?

Go to the steam market page of the item you want to buy, put the offer in and it will say "Finding matching item listings at your desired price..." Then confirm it on your phone while the page is still up, the writing on the page will change to say it was successful then you can either refresh the page to check your buy order is there or close it.
