Unauthorized Purchase on Steam Community Market - Need Help!
I recently added funds to my Steam wallet to buy a skin for my game. However, before I could authorize the purchase in-game, my friends started a match, so I joined them to play. After the match, I tried to buy the skin, but my wallet was empty!

Looking at my purchase log, I noticed that the funds were used on the Steam Community Market to buy something for DOTA. The problem is—I’ve never played DOTA before, and I definitely didn’t authorize this purchase.

I need help understanding what happened and how to get my money back. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
