  21. I just wanted to know what's wrong, and whether I can have the account unsuspended before the end of the sale...

  31. Hey Billy
  32.  
  33. A lot of them are still in my inventory because I prefer to keep them there until I'm ready to play them (at which point I redeem them into my library). Some were trades for games not available in my region (eg. Skyrim), others were gifts for buddies (we gift a lot - while I bought quite a few gifts, you should also be able to see that I received a lot of random gifts, too). Finally, others were random presents to people who wished for games or packs but couldn't afford them. Is there a limit to how much I can buy/gift? If you let me know what it is I'll be sure not to exceed it.
  34.  
  35. p.s.: I can confirm that I made the purchases

  38. Hello ---,
  39.  
  40. I apologize for the delay. With the large amount of activity on the account, we needed to verify the purchases were coming from the account owner.
  41.  
  42. In order to protect the account holder and the associated software, the account was disabled until we could verify ownership.
  43.  
  44. You should now be able to login to the account.
  45.  
  46. If you have any further questions, please let us know.

  49. Thanks for unsuspending.
  50.  
  51. Could you tell me if there's a limit to spending/gifting, so that my account isn't suspended during the next big sale (summer, I assume)?
  52.

  64.  
  65. Thanks in advance
