Cant buy from Steam at all ? WTF ?

Closed

Hi guys. Maybe somebody of you is already familiar with this damn error and how to solve it.

When i try to buy something it gives me this shit "There was an unexpected error. The command was not completed. Please contact technical support."

Yesterday everything was fine...I contacted support, but got no answer, and i'm afraid that till they respond to my ticked i'll loose the Sherlock Holmes offer. ((

Does somebody know how to solve it ?

Support takes forever.

How do you purchase your games on the service? I use Visa gift cards, and because I often change cards, that is an occasional problem. I've found putting funds in my Steam wallet with my gift cards can sometimes help, since that isn't always blocked when regular purchases are.

SteamWallet

Or this to enter a custom amount of US$5 or more

Okay, that is a more annoying problem, where Steam wishes to be a glitchy ****er when it knows you want the current sale.

If you have a trustworthy friend that you know won't activate it, see if you can gift it to them when you purchase. I was able to do that to get around the same error once during a sale for SFxT.

I'll try it in 2 minutes, but i doubt it, i cant buy nothing, not just the game on sale. On every product i recieve the same error.

Yeah, I was getting it for everything that I tried to keep, but instant gifting (rather than dumping in my own inventory) worked.

Lucky it fixed itself after a day.

Sometimes this occurs when the Steam servers are overladen, or there's also the possibility you are region-locked if your IP doesn't match your billing location in which case you'll have to contact steam support.

I can buy it for you if you want. I've had the same issue before and my friend bought me the game, since it was like 20 minutes left for end of the sale. :/ THe issue fixed it self through.

Have you tried buying a lot of copies? This happens if you do.
