    My creditcard keeps getting declined, I've also heard rumors that others may have the same problem.  
     I have the correct billingdetails and have sufficient cash to make the transfer.    Has anyone had problems buying games the last few hours?

    What's your credit card number? I'll let you know if it's Steam or your card.

    This happened to me before - it wasn't my credit card, it was Valve automatically declining purchases to prevent fraud. I emailed support and they lifted all restrictions on my Steam account, allowing me to purchase as many copies of as many games as I wanted.

    Well, it's working now. Must have been a hick-up from their side. The steamservers were being hammered yesterday.

    That had happened to me as well, but it was my mistake typing a wrong valid month of the card...

    I always pay using Paypal, not had any issues, except when I forget to agree to the terms and conditions, but that's my own stupid fault....

    @Zenwork: Email support, dude. They're very good about getting this sort of thing resolved. If you do that and every other avenue fails, shoot me a PM. I know a guy.

    Depends on your bank. I have had mine blocked after steam purchases because they consider online purchases to be fraudulent. Steam support should have to tell you, and simply going down to your bank should be enough to get it unblocked.
