You think their payment system would ever be nonfunctional? Haha.

It usually works? Cause EVERYTHING I have tried doesn't work. It says this exactly:
Your purchase has not been completed. Your credit card information has been declined by your credit card company.

Also, question: What do I put as my name/address for the Visa gift card?

Even when I use Paypal, a different credit card, and a Visa gift card, it says the same thing.

Address can be totally random.
For name, use the one written on card/your name/the person's name who bought it.

Card says "GIFT CARD RECIPIENT"
I'll try using my friend's name, who bought it.

This happened to me the first few times, just keep trying.

I'm afraid I'll be charged more than once.

EDIT: Tried PayPal again; declined.

link a checking account to paypal and verify it.
pay with paypal (that will charge the checking itself)
then no need for cards

I think this is Steam's fault, rather than my PayPal account's.

By any chance, are you using any kind of proxy?

Proxy? I've never learned what a proxy is. Do explain.

D3ATH · December 13, 2009, 03:04:24 PM

Sometimes credit card info doesn't go through proxy.

It's basically hiding your real IP and connecting through another PC/Server to Internet.

Hiding it? I have no clue what you mean, so I'll assume I'm not using a proxy.
Do you think the servers are down, or something?

Daedalus · December 13, 2009, 03:09:48 PM

The really annoying part is that it won't let me add anyone on Steam unless I have games.

Daedalus · December 13, 2009, 03:18:47 PM

Maybe I'll try Clickandbuy. Does anyone know if it works well?
EDIT:forget, triple toast.
