Gifting Problems: Store Related

Closed

Has anyone ever had any issues with being able to purchase gifts for people through the Steam store?

I tried to purchase the copy of Magnetis that I owed someone and was greeted with an error that said that it was unable to process my request. I switched from my CC to Paypal and was given the same error.

I didn't have a copy of the game myself so I tried to purchase it with my CC and it worked.

Is there a gifting limit that is present on Steam to prevent fraudulent use of the payment options attached to the account or something? This is very frustrating because I cannot give one of the winners of my giveaways his gift because of this. :/

Any insight would be great.

Oh, I should mention that I have submitted a ticket to Steam support about this as well, but I just wanted to see if anyone has hit this problem as well.

Thanks!

Sometimes buying in the website while having the steam client open brings problems like those ones. Happened to me 2 times already. My solution was simple: close steam.exe and my browser, re-open the browser and make the purchase.

Steam is undergoing some serious changes. If stuff doesn't work, just try again in a few minutes. Simple as that.

Goes away after a day or so, happens all the time.
