FIXED "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."
is anyone else getting this error when trying to make a purchase on steam ?

every payment method, CC paypal etc. all do the same

"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

I have even tried using a Browser, same error . * cleared Cache cookies etc.

I already put in a support ticket. But who knows how long that will take.

Has anyone had this , and fixed it?

--------------------

UPDATE~~ Fixed I was able to work around the error.

If anyone else gets this error what i did was revert back to NON beta steam, than I switched back to BETA. This cleared out my cart. And i can now purchase once again.

I hope this helps anyone lese having this issue

In the top of the Steam client window, click "Steam" > "Settings" > "Account" tab > under Beta Participation, click "Change" > select "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" from the drop down menu.

I already have funds to my steam account. The only thing is I cannot purchase items in Dota 2. So frustrating!
I'm having the same problem - it's REALLY pissing me off...I guess steam doesn't want our money?!?
