That often triggers a "suspected of commercial trading" flag for your account.
You can either contact Steam support to remove the flag from your account or use a external payment method like a credit card to buy the gift, that will always work.
gifting with other payment methods should normally work though.
Does Steam Valve have a "trustee" system in place or something? Some people can do things while others cannot. Seems odd...
Now, Support can remove that block and they often do, but loads of times people trigger the flag again for exhibiting the same odd behaviour. Support does not remove the block a second time - that pretty much tells you everything about their feelings on the matter.
Also, if a ban happens, who does it affect? The sender of the gift or the receiver?
The sender of course. If it was the receiver then malicious users could weaponize that to harm other's accounts.
As for why wallet funds are somewhat restricted, I would have to venture it has to do with how prevalent scams are and how wallet funds can be transferable via the market. Or how giftcards are used in scams. Buying gifts with wallet funds may effectively be a form of laundering in those cases. It's definitely a "this is why we can't have nice things" type of problem.
At any rate I'm sure Valve has a visibility into what's going on and it's not an arbitrary decision.
There seems to be 2 ways. Either directly buy a game and gift it to myself, or buy items with it from the market and trade the items to myself. (In the form of item instead of money.)
So both those things are considered bad by Steam? Or trading is okay?
There seems to be a lot of strict laws about these things. That's why I'm asking, I don't want to break any rules and want do things legitimately.
Buying yourself a gift with wallet funds isn't against the rules and isn't strictly forbidden prevented. If your account isn't already gift restricted or anything it shouldn't be an issue unless you're buying lots of gifts. The threshold where you'd trigger a restriction is a bit fuzzy and ill-defined. Most normal user behavior shouldn't trigger it.
I would just do the former, playing grabass with the market to transfer funds is way more problematic in my opinion.
If it were me I wouldn't be using wallet funds to buy myself tons of gifts in multiple transactions, it would be a one shot deal, so I wouldn't be worried about restrictions. If your plans involve something different then that may warrant more consideration.
I'm thinking maybe if the trading is also a one shot deal it shouldn't cause any problem? (Since it's just ONE person transferring things between their OWN accounts.)
But I will take your advice. If you think directly buying and gifting to myself is safer than using market to transfer money, then I will probably do that.
Yes It honestly shouldn't cause any problem. These rules are very strict in my opinion. But again, maybe some people did bad things in the past that made Steam how it is today. (It's truly why we can't have nice things.)
I was just asking because of others people's comments that said gifting with wallet is bad:
So my take on it is, when you tried to buy a game for your alt account, what happened? Did it work, or did you have the same error?
Also the problem with trying to use the market to transfer funds, is you'll have to pay the market fees to accomplish that. Trying to transfer $30 might only leave you with $25.50, and if you can just skip that tax by gifting a game that would generally be preferable. The only time using the market might be viewed as better is if you could not gift a game.
And yeah, Steam has a tax when selling items. Gifting sounds like a better option then. I'm just afraid because I'm a paranoid person and I don't want anything happen to my account.
But thanks for the replies.
Now I have 100 dollars in my steam wallet just sitting there.
It took days to register because the email system barely works. It took me 8 days to finally log back in due to said mail issue.
How the actual F*ck do I send the boy the cash? His birthday was 2 freaking weeks ago.
Do I have to have him sit here and pick games and then I can transfer them to him?
Why didn't you send a digital gift card?
Are you beyond the 2 weeks for a refund?
It would not let me. Said I had to wait a week. Then it said I had to be friends with the fellow for more than 3 days or I could not send him anything in the first place.
Steam had no problems taking my cash, though lol..
