Can't buy from steam store !

Well here is a 'only 100% trust worthy/a-bit of rule breaking' option...you could ask a friend that lives somewhere else to log on your account and buy the game for you, so you can get it (then you know changing the password again). Or try to use a proxy.

Im not really sure about that...ask around the forums, or maybe someone will respond to see if its allowed or not, but I wouldnt see as how its not allowed. Tho its best to check.

Why don't you create another Steam account and buy the games as gifts there, and then gift the games to your original account?. If you get banned, you fake account will be banned, because you will be using the proxy through your fake account to buy games.

the wallet is redeemed in my account. so i can't buy from a new account

if a steam account gets banned due to problem purchasing a game
this game will be revoked i think. even if you gift it to another account

Well the strange thing is Steam prohibiting you from BUYING games (I assume its any game and not just specific that have region block) when its a virtual purchase and there is already legit money into their own system.

As someone said you could try to use a proxy and say you were on a vacation, and use the same proxy for a few days.

This might work.
I am from the Euro zone, but have been living, playing, and purchasing games from Japan for 6 months, now I'm back in my country and I haven't had any problem yet.
Though I don't know if this has all to do with the last action from Valve (or attack, or scam, you name it) to people gifting between zones and how it might affect your particular case.

Bullshit! Steam only banns if you don't pay for the games. If games are paid, Steam doesn't care at all about Proxies.

If you are going to use a proxy, you'll need to come up with an appropriate story so that Steam Support can switch your regions.
Such as... you are on vocation!

He can just say he went on vacation. Just use a proxy for a few days in the same place before you change back.

This story is weird. At first I thought you were trying to use your card and couldn't because your country is blocked due to, maybe, lots of credit card frauds or something like that. But you are buying with Steam Wallet Credit, what the hell? They shouldn't block you from using it. I'm sorry, man.

yeah. i think they should have told me before redeeming these codes that i can't buy using them due to my country

it's a huge disappointment that you can't spend your money that is already in-steam

i think the idea for making those codes was to allow everyone to buy from steam
seems that i'll wait long so that i can spend those $$$

You should ask some trusted person to buy something for you through Paypal for example.

I might be helpful, but I'm from Euro zone, means games are a bit more expensive here than in US.

Wow, Steam really has it out for Palestine huh? If you had funds on paypal, I would've helped you buy the games from the US Steam store without any fees because it sucks you can't buy any Steam games from where you live. I think the best option might be to ask the trusted friend that got you the Gamestop codes to log into your Steam account and buy the games for you.
