So with it being Christmas and all I decided to purchase a game for me and my two friends. I successfully completed two orders but I can't complete third one as it says I have to wait for 24 hours. What gives ? Had I known this was the case I would've purchased it on Steam :/ Is there a way to mitigate this or do we have to wait ?

Dupe thread. We followed up here:

Are we talking about the same gift? Then yes, you can only buy one gift copy of the same gift in 24 hours. If we are talking about different games, it's probably a problem with your bank or credit card company. When you make several small transactions in a row, it often triggers some sort of fraud alarm and will block your card for that shop for 24 hours.It happened to me once in the past. You should still be able to make purchases using PayPal though.
