How to transfer a game from 1 STEAM account to another one ?

[Aitnice]

Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR !
I just bought on eBay "Civilization V Brave New World" an original DVD including a key of 15 chars.
Unfortunately this extension has been already recorded on the STEAM account of the first owner, also ownership of this game shall now be transferred to my own STEAM account.
Seller and myself are ready to share any information as requested by STEAM protocol.
Who can help to drive us, to the right web place where this process is explained ?
Thanks by advance for your help.

You can't transfer games between accounts. The only way to do this would be to trade a game gift to another account.

You cannot trade a "game gift" of something that was bought on eBay though.

What you want to do is impossible. Once a game has been redeemedo on one account it cannot be moved to another account. There is nothing that can be done to transfer the game key from the seller's account to yours.

The seller should give you back your money, if they are an honest person.

I was implying that the ONLY way to transfer a game between accounts would be to trade a game gift. I wasn't referring to a game key or CD.

Ya but in the context of the original poster.. i worried that based on your response they might think it was possible to turn their "eBay bought item" *into* a "game gift", like you mentioned. And then mistakingly think they could transfer that between the eBay seller's account and theirs.

However.. it is not possible, to change a CD key tied to one account "into" a giftable copy of a game in which you can trade on Steam. i just wanted to make that clear.

What the OP wants to do is impossible. There is no way.. and no "protocol" on Steam for transfering a game in one user's Library into another.

So is it possible to transfer game?

The answer hasn't changed. Games can not be transferred from one account to another.
