steamsteam-trading-cards
So I'm just wondering since I'm level 10 on steam and got 3 trading cards and haven't gotten any XP from it.
Do I have to craft a badge?
Before I was level 10 cards gave me XP, why don't they give me XP anymore?
How much XP will I get from crafting a badge and leveling that badge up?
Well if any of you can answer back that would be great. Good day.
A few examples:
All Steam seasonal sales so far with ∞ badge levels:
The Steam Winter Sale of 2013 was the first to set the precedent, in which for the first time both foil and regular badges were able to level up as many times possible during the event. This meant that users could easily complete badges and quickly level up their Steam accounts, without a "level cap" on the badge.
A few examples of users with high levels of badges:
From the Steam Winter Sale on out, most of the other Steam seasonal sales feature badges unlimited levels (exception is the Summer Getaway Sale), so theoretically, there's no limit to how many levels you can get with any of those badges.
Yes,I bought an item for Dota 2 online rather than in-game shop and my progress towards the card increased,don't see why it would be different for TF2.
When you buy items online the system asks you to log-in with your steam account to finish purchase;in-game store is essentially just a simple game web browser to display the original online store(Why?It is easier to maintain one store than 2).So in the end whether you buy something online or in-game it goes thru the same account and the same system.
Also the system is retroactive,meaning all things you bought before trading cards will be counted as you bought them now.So the system will checks your receits and they are the same for both stores.
If you want to check for yourself you don't have to spent 9$,you can purchase the cheapest item you find and then check if you "progress towards next card" has increased.

Yes, you have to craft a badge.
You never get XP from only cards, you get XP from crafting badges and buying games (2-3 xp per game) and some special badges such as "X+ games owned" or "member for Y years".
100XP, for initial crafting and each leveling up.
You can level up normal badges until it reaches level 5, but foil ones have only one level. Foil badges give 100XP too.
The amount of badges required per level is
floor(level/10)+1, so lets say that you are level 15, it isfloor(1.5)+1->1+1->2because the amount of XP required to level up increases by 100xp on every 10 levels.
