Just to inform that Paypal "seems not to be always" bad. My limited Paypal account is unlocked again, after I wrote a diplomatic, but not very nice letter to the support. I've been letting them know that I won't send them X-pages of whatever, after I already made the steps to verify my CreditCard and with this my location.
Also I told them to shut down the account if they don't want to unlock it (didn't care anymore). Well, guess what. A friendly paypal employeer called me on my handy (I didn't have to call the hotline - which would have been costs again) and I told him that I am really me and that I made the transactions that perhaps fired the security system. A day later the account was unlocked again.

So at the end... Everything is working again (let's see how long).

So thanks all for the comments and especially Deozaan for helping me out with the gift. :)

Thanks. Nice reading. I know it was a bit off-topic, so sorry. I was just a bit angry at that moment, and didn't think of opening a new thread. Well... hope the money from the second account will be transferred and after that I will use PP only if there isn't any other way.

Hi,

I just transferred the money. Should be there in 2-3 days. I had to open a new PP-Account, because PP "mistakenly" froze my main account. Very funny, just because I used it with a VPN and never before bought in UK. Thank god, I had no money on it and always paid via bank transfer.
Who the hell are they? They just think another person logged into my account, even though I used the pin type login with my mobile phone and reverified my Credit Card (which was deactivated by paypal also). I used paypal for many years now, without even having a problem. Till now.

Well, sorry but I was a bit angry. I wished I could have send the money earlier, but with this measures, PP "forced" me to open a new account.

Anyone else had problem with Paypal?

Bye,

Sven

Hello together,

I just found the thread via google, because I have exactly the same problem with buying "The Witcher" from Steam. So I looked around this forum and found out that the people here have a polite way to interact with each other. That's something, that makes this forum a place to come by more often.

Since I also don't like opening new threads for every little thing, I just append to this older thread. Could perhaps anyone from US or Russia gift me the game? I use paypal and could do instant payments.

And to the discussion about Steam. Well, at first (back when it was introduced) I was very angry that CS1.6 was released via Steam. I always loved to have a DVD/CD in my shelf. But now a few years later, I think a little bit different about it. Now my opinion is that it is just the way the internet and with it the distribution channels change. I is a convinient way to buy games without much copy-protection/drm stuff which hurts my system. So I see no problem in installing Steam. For me it is only a launcher. A positive side-effect is when I lose my harddrive or my install disc (happened to me when I moved and didn't find the game case in the boxes) because of a hardware failure it doesn't matter. I can redownload the games.
The only thing that sometimes drives me nuts is the way regional sales are being enforced by the IP and CreditCard/Paypal Account origin. Something which was really annoying for me when I first got the Valve Complete Pack as DE Version. (the games where cut, even the old Half-Life). It cost me a few letters to the support, and a way to buy the Valve Complete Pack again in UK until the support exchanged the game and refunded the original price.

So in the UK Store it is no problem, but the US or Russian Store have much stricter Checks for buying. :)

So, if anybody could help me with this I would be very thankful.

Bye,

Sven
