Then they aren't steam keys.
If they say they are, contact steam and ask if they are.

Well, if they aren't working, you have 2 options;

I did have something to say and I posted it. You can tell because there is text in my replies.

Because of formatting. :P
Preface with [][]()() and it will destroy the formatting at the start of the line. I had to do it for a post starting with #Reload.

Yeah, just now I activated small keys fine, but got invalid keys when activating Shattered Horizon and Sniper Ghost Warrior, they're both 25 symbols.

Have you ever tried to redeem those keys with hyphens removed?
"Dawn of Fantasy" could be activated on Steam by using the Desura key with hyphens removed.
I don't know this works or not in this case.

Sometimes removing "-" solves the issue, like happened with GT Legends game keys, ppl who made giveaways of this game on gameminer without warning others about they have to remove the "-" before trying to activate them, got their giveaways marked as not received/fake.

^This - I remember seeing that on the bundlestars FAQ for a different game they had.

So, what games are giving you problems and where did you purchase them? Give page links if you can.

It's solved now, I think. A few days ago I tried to trade my retail Portal key for Sword of The Stars The Pit, and the guy said it's invalid. Fortunately I had the reference card, so I made a picture about it for him, and sent it, so he knew I'm not a scammer, just I tried to trade the key, when these issues happened. Tomorrow he said he couldn't contact Steam Support, but he was able to redeem it. I had Portal from the free period back in 2010, and I thought that it was a degraded version, since it couldn't load HL 2 items, so most of the mods didn't work on it, and when Portal 2 came out, I decided to buy both, but Steam didn't asked for Portal 1's key.
