They fixed it but that seems like a bad day

Anyone know how to contact steam to get the fastest response? I submitted a ticket but I am freaking out. The lady at my bank says it just keeps cycling through authorizing and pre-authorizing the purchase. She also said that Shazam only shows the initial purchase so this is definitely on steams end. I need to get this resolved quick as each charge that overdraws has a $31.00 overdraw fee which puts me way over -$100K. Also anyone else ever have anything like this happen to them?

I do not understand people who use debit cards for online purchases.

Yeah, but he'll make some of it back when he sells the trading cards.

My question is how did his bank not freeze the account before it got over 93,000 in the negative?



This also speaks as to why you should opt-out of the coverage for purchases that put your account in the negative.
