Cant buy games in Steam

try again and again and again

it usually works for most of the things on steam like activating gift and other

Wait some time and try again...

try to checkout from Google Wallet?

I'm more like guessing than being sure, but my guess it's similar situation to purchasing from outside the country in which the credit card was issued, and if that's the case your only hope is steam support.

I'm pretty sure its a country issue.

My account was made in the UK, however im in the UAE currently and could not buy anything during the sale, same error message.

So if it's a country blockade, just send your passwords to someone you trust who is in your country and ask him to buy the things you want :D

or just use a proxy :O

Might be getting mates back home to buy stuff for me then.
Thanks for all the help will remember you guys and might do a priv giveaway as a pay back for the help

So, are you telling me if I move to another country and try to purchase games I can't? lol

Might be a bit late, but if you added the wallet funds in Australia then its going to be the wrong currency due to the fact that steam wont automatically convert it, you would need to pay using another method :P

It's simple! Now you see the Steam Store China. You haven't right buying anything from here. You must use your original store (Steam Store Australia.)
Forget it Steam client for buying until you have in China. You need use the login from a browser.

Open this link:
http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=xx
Where is "xx" your country code. Example: au for Australia, uk for United Kingdom, us - for U.S.A..

Now you can buy anything from Steam Store! It's 100% legal and Steam approved method solution for problem.
Steam Store Australia
Steam Store United Kingdom

submit a steam ticket saying that you want the currency of your steam wallet to match your current country. It's a currency issue common with people moving to other countries. You will need a proof of identification of some sort though. When I submitted my ticket a while back, i just uploaded my scanned drivers license to the steam support.

Edit - It took around 2-3 days for them to change my steam wallet currency i think.

This happened to me a while ago, I submitted a ticket and they told me to uninstall and re-install steam.

Here's how they told me to go about the issue:
"Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

Are you attempting to make the purchase through Steam or with a web browser using the storefront webpage?

If using Steam, try the following:

If using a PC
-Exit Steam, then go to the location that Steam is installed to. By default this is C:\Program Files\Steam directory (this is the default with a Steam installation - if you set a different installation directory, you will need to browse to it).
-Delete all of the files except for:
Steam.exe
And the folder \SteamApps\

If using a Mac:
-Exit Steam and go to the folder Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam
-Delete all of the files in this folder except for SteamApps.

Restart your computer and test the issue.

Note: This process will not affect your currently installed games."

As of now, you're best options would be to actually contact Steam Support again.

Or just make a new account and gift the game to your original account.

You have to have a credit card that maches the IP-adress of the internet in the country you are in, so you have to get a Chinese credit card to buy in china. Sorry for my bad english

i changed my cloud country , and it worked :D ... idk if that helps :\
