Transaction costs exist for these cards. Would you want to be given a transaction cost of say 50 cents on every small purchase?

Allow purchasing from the market place directly instead of adding funds to wallet.

Just as the title says, it would be a nice feature to be able to buy directly from the market place like trading cards or skins for games with a debit or credit card, rather than having to add funds to your steam wallet. Especially when you don't want to add a whole $5 to your steam wallet when whatever you are buying adds up to less than a $1.

The Market requiring the use of Valve's own wallet fund system is very intentional.

It curbs fraud by a lot.

Don't expect it to change anytime in the foreseeable future.

I had never tried to make badges outside of a Steam Sale badge before now, so I am finding the process…a bit annoying. I used to sell cards to help fund game purchases (at least it sometimes covered tax)-now I’m selling them (for games I have no interest in making badges for) to help fund trading card purchases.

Am literally 1 card away from having my first full set-6 cents in my stream wallet from sales (bought 3 on the market with funds made from card sales, traded for another with a friend). Have several items for sell that haven’t been bought yet. So I’m 3 cents short of the typical lowest price of the final card I need. Don’t really want to add 5 dollars for 3 cents.

And of course out of the 3 games I was considering for my first badge, I picked the one with the most expensive trading cards. Lol. Crossing my fingers more of my cards sell soon….

Or TL;DR, I agree with OP’s suggestion, just don’t know if it’s practical.

It is not.
