What does it say? And have you tried the browser as well as the client?

It happened on browser, client is blocked too... It says that I have purchased something on the Steam Store, but it's not 30 days old yet. BTW I don't even have Steam Wallet.

"I don't even have Steam Wallet." you mean, you have never added funds to your Steam wallet? If that's the case, obviously, you cannot use Steam market.

But my trading was blocked too, now everything is OK... I am unbanned at least on trading now.

it's good to hear that everything is OK now, maybe it's some problems on Steam's server

When I'm scrolling the Steam Market there is that info: "It appears you've made a valid purchase on the Steam Store, but it's not 30 days old yet." I don't get it...

Sometimes it's bug. It also can happen when you reinstall windows/internet browser/steam.

From what it says, you need to wait a month before they will allow you to use Market.

Were you able to buy on market before?

If it's bug, it usually fixes itself in few hours.

You changed password? Use new PC? Reinstalled Windows? Not bought anything on Steam for a long time?

There is some rule about using Steam Market/Trade somehow. Not sure about details.

Accounts that haven't bought anything in months are considered inactive, so they lock what you can buy for a while so someone can't just get into your old account and buy things with your credit card.

Ok, now everything is clear after few hours and relogs. I have to buy something or wait a month to get unban on Steam Market, but still I don't understand why I had banned trade too. Now trading works but that was strange Steam action...

CSGO Lounge is a third party website with no affiliation to Steam whatsoever. So I'm failing to understand exactly what happened here.
