Tried to purchase a few games while they where on offer on VIA steam 1st game i tried to purchase was left 4 dead 2 which was on sale just over £5 when I tried to purchase it either with paypal or using my visa card it came up internal error, I had funds already in my paypal so I know theres nothing wrong with my paypal account & have not had any problems using my VISA on any other place in fact in didnt even let me review & confirm my purchases before getting the internal error.Not a very good 1st experiance trying to purchase games with steam,Ive had no reply from the customer support which I made a few days ago,Although not too bothered now as I now notice that left for dead 2 has gone back upto £14.99 & can get it cheaper most places online retail.thing is I had a list of about 5 games i was going to purchase while they where on offer & ended up not even getting past my 1st purchase,anyone else have this problem & did they find out what the problem was?

I had problems on occasion and at least once over the holiday period I couldn't make a purchase with my paypal account. As it happens I have 2 Steam accounts - I logged into the second and made the purchase using that one (same paypal account). The problem went away the next day and I was able to use my first account to buy again. It's some silly glitch I reckon.
edit - just remembered a while back I did have to get in touch with support when I wasn't able to make purchases on one of my accounts for a few days. Might have been the 2009 Xmas sale.

I had the same problem 1 month ago and contacted their support.
Anyway the problem was solved by itself a few hours later.

Simple web error. Maybe, rather than waiting days for an answer you should have tried again a short while later while the sale was still going on. If you didn't get to the review and confirm screen at least, there's no way your purchase went through and it would have been perfectly safe to try again. It probably would have worked fine had you tried a second time or waited a few hours and tried again.
This is a non-issue. EVERY website has an occasional glitch.

This topic belongs to Steam forums, don't understand the point of having it here.

Purchasing games? WTF
Epsilon: Game is great btw, I love it, so far it's a definite goty. It's remarkable how much has changed since the beta, stardock have been working their asses off, and it shows.

if it's any consolation it'll only be a matter of time before l4d2 is on sale again. It was on sale 3 times at least last year.

Since a year or so I buy most games, currently got over 110 games on Steam, never wanted to go back really, auto patches, can play wherever I am, friend lists, join a friend, statistics, achievements. Being a pirate sucks these days.
PC: Yes. Console: No.
