Hi,

Has anyone here managed to get steam support to allow you to make a purchase on your original country steam account using a credit card from your original country?

If the IP address doesn't match with the credit card country of origin it won't let me make payments.

i have no probs, im from nz....ive bought borderlands, mass effect, lfd2, and company of heroes pack no worries..

are you sure its not at the bank end??

[hugekebab]

Yeh pretty sure.

I try to make a payment with my uk credit card or uk paypal, but because im in korea and using a uk payment address it wont let me purchase. pain in the arse because i dont want to get a credit card over here.

email customer support. I heard that people just email steam and they would let you d/l products if you tell them that you are in another country for a short time.

Well, emailed support, told them I was working here but still had a house int he uk (my purchase address) they unlocked the account for me.

Will test it tonight, want to get bf2 again on steam, cus I lost my original cd (bit overpriced though; 30 dollars!)

I had to do the same thing. After, they unlocked my account there were no issues. Allowed me to get in on some of those crazy Black Friday deals.. ~.~

I purchased L4D2. I had zero problems.
