Steam purchase with instant bank transfer?
Hey,
I just bought a game (Among Us) on Steam (about 10-20 minutes ago) using Sofortüberweisung (I have online banking).
However, I wanted to try to download it after purchasing it, but it just didn't work. The money was debited from my account.
Does it take time for them to activate it or how does it work?
They must check if the money has arrived. Only then will you get the game. If this takes a little longer, you have to wait.
But by then, I wouldn't get an email, would I? Because I didn't get an email to buy the game.
I always buy via Paypal on Steam and the game is there right away. In this case, I get an email that the game has been added to my library. You can only get the email when the money is there and you can use the game.
This sometimes takes a bit when it comes to emergency transfers.
It is usually done after a few minutes, but often takes several hours.
In individual cases also days.
Okay, thanks.
I was sent an email where there was a mistake in it, but the money was still gone from my account.
But email was 3-5 hours ago when I wanted to make a purchase, but didn't it?
