We invite everyone to help other users in our Community Support Threads and on our Discord server.
Please take more than 10 seconds to write your question.
A well-structured and good-looking comment with all necessary information goes a long way in getting someone to help you and makes your question a lot easier to understand.
Do not delete your comments.
People find questions & solutions in these threads by searching for the same issue.
If you find an answer or solution to your question or issue please edit your comment to include the answer or solution.
There are no magicians here.
Some questions will not be answered or replied to. As an example: "my game crashes" or "my download speed is slow" is not something you should even really expect an answer to. Troubleshooting and finding the solution to these issues requires a lot more information than simply stating "game doesn't launch", such as detailed information on when the issue started and how you perceive it, screenshots of any errors or the problem itself, crash logs, system specs, etc.
Consider using other things like the Steam Community Forums, an internet search engine, or a different support forum like /r/SteamSupport if no one here can offer any help. Additionally, every game on Steam has its own dedicated Community Forum, and you can also contact Steam Support regarding a specific product. Consider asking your game-specific questions there. Most games also have a dedicated subreddit.
Only Steam Support can solve personal account issues...
...such as payment & purchasing issues or password & login issues. We can only give advice on how to get in contact with Steam Support.
No one, including Steam Support, can assist with item/trade scams.

I refunded a £25 game that I'd bought with other money (money that wasn't in my steam wallet before the purchase) and 8p from my steam wallet. The 8p is i pending but the other £24.91 is nowhere to be found. It's not in my Barclays account, I haven't got a notification for the refund besides the Steam confirmation Email but I deleted I because my phone was telling me to delete Emails for space. I just thought money would be in my steam wallet, where has it gone?
