''Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch. Check your account and I see you already have a restriction on gift purchases.

You can buy gifts and send them to friends if you use direct payment methods for the gift, but you will not be able to use your Steam Wallet funds. You can use wallet funds to make purchases for your own Steam account.

Steam Support cannot remove this restriction.

Any new tickets/tickets about this issue will be closed without a response.

Since we don't have any more information about gift purchases, I closed this call. If you have any other problems, open another ticket.

I think you can only gift using PayPal or CC or whatever the actual methods of payment are. This one's a pretty stupid rule ngl.

Moving this to current page xD Thanks for letting us know!
So lets see if I get this right , you are saying that main account must be more valuable than the value of gifts he is receiving from your second one ?
Is that it ?
I still don't understand what happened with this situation.. I *think* they want him to pay more to the second acc? And not make it "legit" from the first one? Or is it something else?

how do you manage to play games on two accounts? Or a secret is not to play them at all? :unsure:

Maybe just buy games for you second account , don't gift them to your main account , instead use steam family sharing feature to share those games between you main and sec , would that be preferable option ?
I gotta say, I had no idea that Steam is so restrictive , ty for you clarification Immerbeaner .

You need to buy games on your account for more money than the value of gifts on other accounts in order to avoid this limitation.

i just found out, that if the wallet have the full value of the game it will work, but if it doesnt it wont, i was trying to pay 61 centavos( around 11 usd cents). it tried gifting a rpg game for my account and that worked '' by any means necessary'' it is and rpg that looks good
