Can't add money to steam wallet or buy games?
So i recently wanted to add money to my steam wallet to buy some games via paypal but after redirecting me to the checkout paypal site i got this message 'Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish to' I live in luxembourg and my friends are able to buy anything and add money to their steam wallet but not me. Is anyone else having this problem? And yes i have sent a message to support but they haven't replied yet...

Is your paypal account registered in a different region?

You may have triggered it in that it thinks you're in region A but you're using paypal in region B or such.

My understanding is that Paypal knows that account A has a bank account or cc linked into a specific region. Ergo if you try to buy something with Paypal in region B, but your Paypal account information all has region A, it won't let you do it.
Thus my vague understanding is that as long as everything is consistent, you are physically in region A, you paypal is in region A, and payment information within paypal is region A, you should be ok. |
