Steam charged me money for adding Credit card?

[Jukerlaw]

As i fixed my credit card 4 times (I added this card a month ago). Steam charged me about 1$ each time as well (so in total 4$) . So does it mean every time u add a credit card, steam will charge u 1$ as a fee even if that card is the same card? (Because i fixed some information in my card so I delete and add again, thus my bank called me there're 4 charges recently).

Personally haven't had to pay for adding my bankcard on Steam (haven't removed it in a while though)

I know PSN & Humble Bundle do this for example though.

the first time i added my credit card it charge me 3 times of 1$, maybe one as a fee and two for small amounts of authorization. I messed up 3 failing times and it locked my market 7 days. No refund as well.

These are just to make sure your card is real and you have money in your account. Verification purposes. Temporary holds that should be returned to you.

So you confirm it's a new thing on Steam?

Because it hasn't happened before to me at least.

I see many want to use this method to check if your card has money. But if it's for verification, it should refund me after i verify it. I see no refund in my steam wallet as well as my bank account.

Otherwise you're just repeating what I just said.

It only does it when you add the card. If its been a while since you've added yours and you've not removed it, then you wouldn't have a charge on your account and you probably wouldn't know how far back to go in your bank statement to see if there was one.

I know for a fact it didn't exist when I first entered my card details in 2010. :) Because I was rather paranoid back then to see the exact amounts go in. PSN was my first experience that did the 1€ extra take.

Well, I guess glad to know something's changed.

Considering money doesn't transfer instantly and is held on hold for a few days, it doesn't work that way. They'll return it in a few days.

When I first time added my credit card, it charge me 1$ and two small amounts for authorizations. I failed trying to fill those two amounts (because my currency is different) 3 times and it locked my market 7 days. Until today no refund guys.

I personally don't like the holding or pre-auth of accounts money. I remember using a prepaid MasterCard with $25 at amazon and used it twice, once at amazon and once at pokerstars.com while the amazon held or pre-authorized the account, pokerstars.com deposited the money and I was left with a failed amazon purchase. NOTE: to the wiser, spending all your money in one day can lead to problems.
