guys, i have been banned from steam because of paypal

i have invested more than 1000$. who do i need to contact? what do i do to make my story heard from them?

it seems like paypal locked people when u add a lot of funds in a short time. thus making it temporarily locked for 24-48 hours.
and in my unfortunate events, i repeatedly want to buy and add some funds to my account, thus making my account locked permanently by valve.

<snip>

If the matter has been resolved with PayPal, contact PayPal Support and get the situation down in writing, then submit another support ticket with Valve explaining what happened, being sure to also provide a copy of PayPal's explanation, complete with the reference number so Valve can chase it up if need be.

Aaaand Watch_Dogs has now been price gouged by 20% for Australia, completing the full list of things Ubisoft could do to piss me off before releasing a game.

Well played.

I figured this would happen eventually. Glad I bought it when I did.

Hello Hafez,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

We have found activity in the Steam account related to fraudulent credit card use.

Per the Steam Subscriber Agreement, we have locked the account permanently. The account will not be reactivated.

The Steam Subscriber Agreement can be found at:
http://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/

In addition to violation of contract, said activities on the account may violate state and federal law. Valve reserves the right to refer the matter to the appropriate authorities.


can someone help me on this? who do i need to contact?
i have lost several thousand dollars on this.
sorry for long rant and post.
and bad english, its my second language.

So Paypal did nothing, like flagging your card or something?

 

[Tizoc]

It's a new character called the Arkham Knight. But let's be honest, it's probably the Joker.

Or Azreal. The dude did look like a mecha Batman in the 90s.

Holy shit, Wolfenstein: New Order is awesome. Best impulse purchase I've made in a good long while.

Considering I was only expecting a okish game I'm shocked by how much fun I'm having. Really sucks for folks having issues though .

Aaaand Watch_Dogs has now been price gouged by 20% for Australia, completing the full list of things Ubisoft could do to piss me off before releasing a game.

Well played.

UbiSoft are a strange company. On one hand they'll fund projects like Child of Light and Valiant Hearts and along with the Rayman resurgence at sensible pricing also supporting new hardware launches better than any pub. Though on the other they will charge probably the highest digital prices of any publisher and have little to no regard of marginal or growth markets. The Brazilian price for Watch_Dogs (outside the glitch) is a bit bonkers but they must think they can sell it at that price.

 

[H13]

Did you tell them your situation? Closest who got contact with Valve is probably jshackles. But even he cannot help you.

I think there are some Steam representatives from Valve here
http://www.reddit.com/r/steam

Try there

thanks alot, doing it now.

If the matter has been resolved with PayPal, contact PayPal Support and get the situation down in writing, then submit another support ticket with Valve explaining what happened, being sure to also provide a copy of PayPal's explanation, complete with the reference number so Valve can chase it up if need be.

I solve with paypal through phone
its just a temporary 24-48 hours lock as i put the money in the account a lot in a short time.

Paypal did something, and no, its not becouse of the money on the card.
its a temporarily lock as too many money put into it in a short time.


this is very disheartening, as i invested around 2000$ into Dota 2 trade. which to me its a lot for a student.
thanks a lot guys.

Then contact PayPal via e-mail and get an explanation as to why your account was locked as well as confirmation that the matter has been resolved, so you can submit this (including the reference number) to Valve as evidence that there was no fraudulent activity.

 

[kurahador]

I think it's the real Batman/Bruce Wayne. The one we're playing is going to turned out to be a robot controlled by that ventriloquist dude.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Got Bioshock 2 for a ~ 5 euros, maybe could have gotten it for less eventually but I have owned Minervas Den for a long time now so it was time to get that.

what?

 

[JaseC]

thanks.

The only problem I can foresee is that account deactivations may be final, regardless of whether or not the stated reason actually applies, but with any luck your ticket will land on the desk of somebody who has some common sense.

lol, nice twist.

 

[KarmaCow]

Not being on steam not wrong enough?

It was the forced mouse acceleration and the only way around it seems to be a universal change to Windows itself. :/

 

[Pudge]

I'm sure there's a couple folks out there who don't have this amazing game, and don't mind Origin.

Thanks! This is a great game that I really need to get back to.

[spindoctor]

I remember that there was something weird about Syndicate on PC but not exactly what it was. Any remember what was wrong with it and if there was a fix?

It had horrible, eye burning bloom. There's no permanent fix to the problem.

indeed,
i am now very shocked by this announcement.
it would be best if they have a phone number that i can call to clarify this matter.
this involve a lot of my money, and if just gone like that, oh my god. =(

 

[KarmaCow]

Great.

great

 

[Milamber]

EDIT: But wow, that sucks.

 

[ashecitism]

I also recall people complaining about mouse lag.

 

[Anteater]

 

[kurahador]

what?

 

[jediyoshi]

Six hackers in twenty four hours is enough for me. Fuck this shit.

Wild. CSGO is the only CS I've yet to run into a hacker in. Though I only play competitive/operation matchmaking. With that kind of luck, you're probably not safe playing any of the other FPSs in the top 10 most-played games.

 

[Salsa]

state of decay got its hooks in me

I'll be grabbing breakdown soon I think

 

[Dusk Golem]

Soon.

 

[Salsa]

also I guess I should download that realistic shadows mod that apparently fixes the contrast cause man these crushed blacks

 

[vazel]

What were they doing? Are you positive it was hacking? Valve's games have some obsessive players that spend a lot of time honing their skills.

Dammit!
A Syndicate/Saboteur bundle but I only want Saboteur.

Probably just gonna get FF7, Injustice, and SFxT.


I'm usually single-player only when I play fighters(yeah I know).
SFxT would need a price-drop to get any cheaper though.

Well, this is potentially useful to both of us as I only want a copy of Syndicate.

I'm going rest for a bit, but if you're interested, send me a PM.

I solve with paypal through phone

No problem, email Paypal support and ask them to send you a email confirming that the issues relating to Steam have been resolved and you were not at fault.

This is easily circumvented by just adding a US-based billing address to your account and switching to it at checkout. Amazon is acutely aware that there aren't in fact hundreds of Google employees buying games; even my orders that were manually processed went through without incident, and needless to say that adding a billing address cross-check would be a trivial matter if Amazon actually wanted to dissuade people from "abusing" the loophole.

 

[ArjanN]

What were they doing? Are you positive it was hacking? Valve's games have some obsessive players that spend a lot of time honing their skills.

Yeah, that seems really high, I find hackers to be pretty rare in GO. But I also only play competitive mode.

Once you play some really high level players it can be pretty crazy though. I'll just quickly peek around this corner and..bam headshot with a pistol.

If you really think someone is cheating though just report them ingame.

Keep in mind that this isn't a Steam key. While they may allow you to redeem it on Steam in the future, Capcom hasn't made any announcements yet.

 

[Knurek]

Wasn't this game removed from Steam?

 

[aku:jiki]

Wasn't this game removed from Steam?

It disappeared from every service but then Krome bought the rights back and brought it back.

No one cheered.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

The Batman Mega Bundle is pretty amazing value.

 

[JaseC]

I'd happily throw $22.50 Amazon's way if it actually included a Steam-friendly key for Arkham Asylum vanilla.

I'm sad they are not doing the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection for Origin on the Amazon sale

What do you mean by steam-friendly key?

I have a vanilla AA back home, as I bought a retail version back in 2009. I never redeemed the game on Steam (I just bought it again a couple of years ago) either, after they removed GFWL (I think I never even registered it on GFWL).

Unfortunately I'll have access to it in August. If you can wait, and can find out whether the code is the one you're looking for, it's yours.

Preferably with but I'd accept without.

The GFWL redemption subs for Asylum vanilla no longer contain the original version of the game. This was the intention initially, but the key redemption issues people were having gave enough time for WB to change its mind. I submitted a support ticket to WB, but was just told that the GOTY Edition is the only version available, and I even tried hitting up Andy (GAF's Nvidia rep), however, unsurprisingly, Nvidia's supply had run dry long ago.
