Why is my Steam money pending?
Steam money usually goes into a pending state if you’ve recently made a sale on the Steam Market and haven’t sold anything in a while. It's their way to prevent fraud and ensure everything's above board. Just give it up to 7 days, and if it's all good, your funds will be available.

Your Steam wallet funds might be on hold because of a security feature. Steam does this to protect against unauthorized transactions. Check your email for any verification messages from Steam, that might speed things up.
It's likely pending because Steam uses a standard verification process for transactions, especially if they're from a new payment method or it's a larger amount than usual. Steam wants to make sure it's really you! Be patient; it should clear up soon.
Chill, it’s probably just Steam being Steam. Happens all the time.
Sometimes, it’s just the internet gremlins at play. If you've been waiting over a week, hit up Steam Support. They're pretty solid at sorting these things out.
