You need to talk to Steam support by sending a ticket: http://support.steampowered.com/ No one here can fix this for you.

Something you can take from this, though: Never use someone else's credit card, PayPal account, etc to buy something for yourself, even if they say that you can. Have them gift it to you, or, in case of a grandparent who may not have a computer, ask them get you a Steam gift card.

Man that sucks, how on earth can the charges get charged back like that?

Wait, he issued a chargeback on purchases made a whole year earlier? I didn't know you could even do that. How did he not even get around to paying the bill in that whole time? Is he in credit card debt up to his eyeballs? Does he have Alzheimer's? I want to know more about this crazy grandfather of yours.

Nah hes a close friend, I looked in his account too, steam took back all his money, including the csgo he gifted me, he bought a steam card online, the money didnt go though from his credit card, so steam unfortunately took everything back, but dw now, I bought csgo ages ago :)

Your friend gifted you the game & the game got revoked=your friend screwed you over. That's simple the way it is.

Okay Mr know it all, thats your opinion and you can stick with it, I have my own and ill stick with mine, having that attitude isnt gonna get you anywhere :) Discussion closed, I dont need help anymore since I already found the solution and I have proof that his credit card was charged back, my initial comment was from last year anyways :)

so let me get the straight because im still confused, i want someone to answer me, if you wait the 9 weeks your free right? when i checked into the chargeback items, i only saw that they are getting revoke my hotline miami game ( both games which i dont really care) and other items that i have already consumed (csgo keys), but how and when does the alert bs ends? does it take 9 weeks to revoke 1 item? it said i wont be able to play on Vac Enable servers (not Vac Banned) and wont be able to purchase games for while (which i dont have problems with that either), but the question is, will it take 9 weeks to remove all items from the list they sended me or will it take 9 weeks to remove 1 item at a time? if so i would start talking to my grandmother about this problem if its actually only 9 weeks to remove all items and remove my account alert then i can wait with no problem, if someone answers me this ill be very relieve or very pissed

ps: i have a smurf account so i can still maintain my csgo skills

No, after the nine weeks the account lock is permanent. Fix the issue and inform Steam Support.

it says this account will be restricted until 17 sep. 2016 at 3:33
meaning that i can guess they are going to revoke the items i bought and during the 9 weeks i wont be able to purchase, gifting, access to community, play on Vac Server. it doesnt say that my account will be lock or close permanently

Purchasing, gifting, trading, cd-key activation, playing online on VAC enabled game servers, and Steam Community access is disabled until the payment dispute is removed
If the dispute on these payments is not removed, this account will be restricted until 17 sep. 2016 a las 3:33.
