I ask here because its probably faster :)
I bought Codemaster bundle for myself with paypal, bought second for my brother with card(paypal didnt work) and now i want third for my friend but cant use paypal or card.
So bundle is limited 1(2) copys? Cant even remember when i bought bundle before Codemasters(Square Enix maybe).

"Purchase Canceled
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We have received too many purchase requests from you in a short period of time, so we have canceled your order (you will not be charged)."

yes...................
1 payment method = 1 bundle
i buy Codemaster bundle in first minute when get "online" and today still cant buy another bundle... So if you want more you need more PP account or more cards... 1 card = 1 bundle | 1 PP = 1 bundle

Another HB account not work
Another mail not work
VPN not work
Gift purchase not work
ffffff

That's not true. You can buy multiple copies of their bundles with the same paypal account (source: I did it). What happened here is probably their "anti-reseller" protection kicking in, basically meant to prevent you from hoarding keys from the bundle to resell on the grey market, so you can't order too many bundles in a short timespan.

I talk with HB support, its limited... and if 10 days is short period.. heh.
Depend on bundle from bundle.. on Codemaster not work :)) (source: i know you can buy some bundles more times but some bundles are limited)

That's strange, as I've on several occasions bought 2 of the same bundle with the same paypal.

2 different tiers works with same method, i talk about $1 tier... idk if you can buy for example via PP 2 times or more times $1 tier. but here its only 1 / 1

Ah, that might well explain it, I did not buy any $1 tiers. Humble still seem to allow me to buy more Tier 2 & 3.

Well i couldnt if I buy one bundle it gets locked for me cant buy any more. Talked with them and they state they have an error in anti fraud system which does such.

Maybe the trick is what SketCZ posted a bit later above: I indeed bought 2 different tiers (specifically a full one and a BTA).

I tried that also but nothing worked at all. Now I can only buy one bundle from Humble.

It is true, at least in some cases. I couldn't buy two copies of neither the Capcom, neither the Codemasters bundle with the same paypal - I never had any problem with paying, never opened a respute or anything. Basically never did anything wrong that would legitimize the limitations, yet they are there.

Really strange, the current Codemaster bundle is one that I bought 2 of, from different tiers, both with the same paypal account, and within about an hour or so from each other.

Maybe it is case by case.
I have 2 Japan Edition All-Stars, one is 0.01 and another is BTA.
Because the BTA even go lower than the time point I locked the average by 0.01 payment in next day......

It (single Paypal) worked for me, exactly with Capcom bundle (2 copies, although 1-2 days apart)

I've bought multiple bundles from HB with no issues whatsover- bought 3 copies of Capcom, for example, to give the [in my opinion, great] games away.

Judging by the phrasing in the quoted Humble response, they simply tried to buy TOO QUICKLY- attempting to buy the same bundle within too short a time.

I have bought 2 tier 2 and 3 bundles twice in past occasions one for myself, second for friends or GA's. I know you can at least get 2 from first hand experience, what you cant do, as far as im concerned is to buy the monthly bundle twice or more with the same account.

What i think what happened is that you bought bundle 1 for your account (and WITH your own HB account) second one you logged in to your brother HB account and tried to purchase with the same paypal account.

What you should do is to buy from your own HB account your first bundle, then buy the second and third one from the same account, but as a gift. In the FAQ on H

So i guess the system detected multiple purchases from multiple accounts with the same Paypal , and automatically locked you out for potential re seller if the scenario i predicted in fact happened..

A couple of ideas, don't know if either would work:

Make another account at humble?

Add a second email address to your Paypal account and use that to log in when paying?

Are you trying to purchase it the usual way or as a gift?

I bought several bundles from the same card but I had to use different accounts. So most probably you'll need to make a second account.

Thanks. Used Paypal 24.11 and card 25.11 so no point to wait and try again later, i find someome with paypal.
Gift not work, second account not work. Good to know its not my account problem.
I understand they need some protcection for key sellers, but only one bundle is imho too few, on bundle per week would be okey :)
When this 1 bundle 1 payment method started? I remeber good old days i bought several bundles no problem :)

I believe the standard Humble cap is 3 bundles, though I've never tested past that, either.

Really sounds like you just tried to buy too quickly, and- much like how forums have automatic blocking of similar messages shortly after you post a message- blocked your request in case it was accidental [or for illicit resale purposes, as an alternative interpretation].

Another alternative is, since it says 'purchase requests', you may have hit page refresh too many times on the purchase, which would definitely kick in the accidental/spam-purchase protection.
