Unable to purchase items with Steam Wallet?

Zushin · 05-17-2012, 02:13 AM

Hey there,

I just added some funds to my Steam Wallet and everything went fine, however, once I tried to purchase something I got the following error:

"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've put in a ticket, was just wondering if anyone else was having troubles?

Thanks.

Check if you purchasing from you country store. You cannot purchase from US if you do not have a US credit card.

First the fiasco with D3D/Software rendering with goldsrc games now wallet doesn't work...

How the ♥♥♥♥ did this client update pass alpha testing let alone reach release?
