Can a seller on ebay or other online store setup a steam account for you?
Because I came across a sell on ebay I was looking for a new game BioShock The Collection with a valid steam game key code witch I didn't think that it was a problem because I have bought valid steam game keys before and didn't experience any problems.



I was looking down on the page on the ad and this is the description:


BioShock: The Collection STEAM PC All Games + DLC

This is a shared account for playing OFFLINE. I will give you STEAM account that you can play the game unlimited. No region lock.

Delivery in 1 hour or asap depending time zone. Can contact any time.


How can they charge a price for this


And I start looking at other ads and the descriptions are all most the same.

Is this ok for them

how is it now that I can get any official steam game keys from a retail market
if I can't trust any

What happened this is what they do I look at all of this in disgust


this is another Rust


and this is the description for it

After payment you will receive 100% working account With the game Rust, you´ll first owner of this account, no simulated hours, no refunds and no problems, as personal accounts!


INSTANTLY AFTER PAYMENT YOU GET username and password ACCOUNT FOR WHICH ACTIVATED GAME RUST.

Instructions for use RUST account:

To change the data from the account, click on the login, select "About account", in the contact information section, add your phone, after binding, you can change your mail and then you can change the password.


this is another DOOM Eternal


the description for it

WHAT IS IT AND HOW IT WORKS?

Please read description before you buy. You will not receive any key or code here, we will activate the game directly from your Steam account using your credentials (Login and password).
We buy the game on the official Steam-Store. This is not an activation key or a CD/DVD. You can play and download the game without any differences usual via Steam after purchase and activation. Also, you must temporarily disable Steam Guard so that we can log into your account without a verification code from your email.
Also, in some cases, we will have to change the region of the account. You will be able to return it back after 2 days without problems.
We do not save your data. We cannot change them (we do not have access to your email).

What I need to do after purchase?

1. Log in to your Steam account and temporarily disable Steam Guard.
2. Send me a Login and password from your Steam account.
3. Sign out and wait for my message that activation is complete.
4. After my message, log in to your account and play. You can turn Steam Guard back.




and another

and another

and another

you get the point



Doom Eternal isn't even released how can they buy this and sell it at sutch a very very low price US $46.99

how do they do this do they buy from the vendor

my theory is that they intend not to let you keep the account

so my question is what can be dun

Never ever do such a thing.

Depends on eBay's policies. Offhand I don't see a problem. But at the same time not everyone is going to read it, or they ignore it because the scam is too tempting or they don't want to believe it.

"Shared account" means all accounts associated will eventually be permabanned. Very much not worth any of that trouble. Report the seller on Ebay because it's fraud, and report them here if you can find their profile, because ... it's fraud.
