I am very mad with Steam right now

There was another thread with this problem. A lot of people have had this problem.

No.

you should have used paypal, sadly now there is nothing else you can do

I had this problem a few weeks ago. I normally get wallet cards since I live right by a CVS but got a prepaid visa as a gift and decided to put it all in my wallet. Immediately lost my market access for a week.

I wrote to support and they flat out said there is nothing they can do to remove this restriction. You're fucked basically.

Yeah i feared i am fucked, i am trying to see if a friend can sell the cards for me and get me the key i am missing.

THIS is exactly what happened to me on day 1 of the sale. No stores around here sell steam cards so I was stuck using a pre-paid CC. Have to wait til the 19th to access the market. I'm NOT happy with it but what can I do? Not much really so I'll have to wait. Really sucks though. :(

Paypal me the money and I will trade you a key. Works for you?

You should be mad.

I understand the policy, but I wish Steam would at least give a big bold warning before letting you go through with it.

You could try opening an alternate account and attempt to use the card on there. If it works, gift yourself the items and games.

I got the same thing FAWKING BO SHEIT

You can just trade the cards for TF2 key.

You should be mad.

There's no workaround. Happened to me before, there's nothing you can do but wait.

I agree on the last part, Steam has the worst support there ever was.

There is nothing you can do, you can;t trade. Nothing. it sucks, Happened to me too.

When people get scammed they scream "STEAM DOESNT PROTECT ME ENOUGH",then when steam adds protection they scream they dont want restrictions... And yeah OFC they mean with market that you also cant sell your cards there,its the market after all. Best options are having a friend buy you a key / trade cards for key or look for another offer for the trade.

Buy it from the Mann Co store.

You can buy a key from http://tf2shop.net/
