RIpoff on Refunds
I posted money on a steam account to give my son for his Birthday at Walmart. It needed to be on a card but Walmart does not have cards. I was told by Steam to return to Walmart for a refund, but when I went there they do not refund Steam deposits. Steam refuses to move the money to a card for use, so I am out $150. I am filing a complaint with the FCC> This outfit has no ethics.

There is no such thing as posting money on a steam account at walmart..... Steam cannot move money off of accounts.

SO it would help if you explain EXACTLY what you did at walmart because there is no such thing as posting money to an account from Walmart. The only way would be to buy a gift card from walmart and redeem that gift card to a steam account, and like ALL gift cards they are non refundable.

Walmart does sell steam gift cards. What did you put the money on?

quoted because there are some contradicting things.

what exactly did you buy at Walmart?
what did you do on Steam with it?
what expected you to happen and what happened instead?

Yeah there's a lot that doesn't make sense or rather is confused here.

Walmart absolutely does sell Steam cards, so either they were out of stock or the staff didn't understand.

But in any case, whatever ELSE you bunged that money on is clearly not anything related to steam so how on earth COULD they convert it? They have zero access to it to even verify it's there.

That's not how systems work.

If you had your bank debit card with £100 on, and you went to Valve and said "I want £50 transferring to you via steam wallet or card" they couldn't do it simply for the same reason - they have no access to your card. The only thing they can do is accept the funds when you make a purchase.

Banking nor transactions CANNOT work like how you think.

Whatever the grievance is here is down to Walmart, not Valve. You spent money on something that is NOT Steam and either they fix it or they don't.

Make sure you explain it better to them than you did here.

I honestly don't know what sort of a mess you're in or who you gave the $150 to but there is no such thing as Steam deposits, posting money on accounts or moving money.

Firstly establish who you actually paid and then what for. Nothing you have described remotely resembles how Steam operates.

I have the receipt. I posted $150 to my Steam Account. It shows on my Steam Account. I found out later that I needed it on a Steam Card instead of the Steam account. Steam would not move it to the card, Walmart refuses to refund the Money. I have a Walmart receipt where I posted it and it shows on my steam account, so don't tell me what walmart does or does not do.

Walmart does not put money on steam accounts. So you are very mistaken. They can sell you a gift card which YOU redeem. How exactly did the money go from YOU paying walmart to getting on your steam account?

You cannot transfer Steam wallet between accounts that’s your issue

It’s not a “ripoff” because you redeemed Steam wallet on the wrong account

You need to describe the process of what you did in detail. Saying you "posted" it to your account makes absolutely no sense to us. The only way you could have put money on your account via Walmart is if you bought a steam card and redeemed it on your account.

You purchasing something without even looking at what it was is not Valve or Walmart's responsibility.

Okay, this is what it sounds like happened based on your attempts to not describe what you did:

It sounds like you successfully added money to your Steam account. But you want to transfer that money from your Steam account to a gift card. That is not possible. You already added the funds to your account. It is not possible to transfer them anywhere. You should make sure that when you're adding funds, you are logged into the correct account.

There are many reasons why Steam does not allow the transfer of wallet funds to other places. The big reason is "money laundering", but also be aware that that once you have added funds to your wallet, you've basically bought store credit, and few places will convert store credit to cash unless they are legally obligated to do so.

You said the money shows on your account. Congrats, you have it.

If you complain to the Federal Communications Commission, they will most likely laugh at you and tell you they have nothing to do with retail stores. The Federal Communications Commission deals with, well, Communications. Radio, TV, Phone, Internet. Their main concern is air traffic control TBH, seriously, they get really nasty when you mess with air traffic control. But retail stores are totally outside their sphere of concern.

Well, it wasn't clear from your initial post.

Now you've explained you're still out of luck. The agreement you agreed to here states clearly that money, once applied to the wallet is not returnable.

That's just how it goes - you made a mistake and while it's a harsh one, it is YOUR mistake I'm afraid.

You are welcome to obviously report to the better business bureau (or whatever it is in the US) but don't be surprised if they don't take a blind bit of notice as they will likely point out the contract you agreed to and say they cannot overrule that. And they'd be right.

Let your son pick the games he wants and gift them to him...

Your ignorance on how things work is no ones problem but yours. But again, just gift your son the games he wants and voila! Mission accomplished.
