I've always found Humble Support to be quite pleasant to deal with. Don't go in guns blazing, just explain your situation. The system might have flagged you as a bulk buyer/trader and locked you out if you bought duplicate bundles. I've never bought more than one copy of a bundle myself, so I don't have experience of this, but from other people's complaints on here, I'm guessing that might be the case?

Ah, that's good to know if I do ever want to gift a bundle to someone for a birthday or something. Send the gift one first haha. =)

+1 on this. Got Shadowbanned as well even tho I never buy multiple Bundle, nor create a giftlink (most of the key is for my own library).
I ask the CS more than once and their answer is as generic bots sound as usual to the point is super annoying without explanation nor the reason.
Well, it became the very best solution to not spend any penny on bundle as well as on HB. By Shadowbanned by them, all is left is a monthly choice which is I've just canceled my subs due to very weak bundle.

If you are marked as a trader then unfortunately yeah, Humble bundle for some reason doesn't like people to sell off or give their keys to others, even though they got a gift option, so especially if you used that option a lot they think you are a trader and therefor block you off from further buying games.
People tried their support but they are relentless and discussion in these cases are futile.
Why it's always better to unlock the steam keys and give those to people, as that is untraceable to them.
I don't know if making a new account circumvent it, as it's probably done by ip adress, then only a new account AND a new isp would help.

Although i read there being no solid date anywhere, as far as i know once you been marked as a trader and be banned for it, it's gonna be permanent
The only way to bypass that is a new account and a new ip adress (which is hard and you can try asking your isp (you could get one if you disconnect your modem for 48 hours maybe, but better ask), or a new isp but even then.
It's gonna be really really tricky.

.... isn't that theft? Taking your money and giving you no goods/services in return? And how do they know you're an active giveaway creator? Do you have your Steam profile linked to Humble or did they really go into all the trouble of searching for you?
Humble is a really weird website, they kinda claim that they're banning people who create giveaways to help/protect developers, but other websites don't seem to have any such "obligations". Fanatical doesn't seem to care. Indiegala has its own giveaways and trading sections. All these stores sell games from pretty much the same developers/publishers. Only Humble seems to have a problem with people. Indiegala even wants people to buy multiple bundles through the Happy Hour thing. I just don't get it.

Nice, so in other words - if I ever have a problem with one of my keys that I paid my hard-earned money for, I should just let it go, never write to support for help so as to not rouse "suspicion". Great. Thank you for info about your situation.
