Hi everyone, I bought a key on the Dutch Auction earlier today, paid through my paypal... and my money left okay and everything, but I have recieved no key. Not even sure how they planned to send it to me, as they never ask for an email or anything...
Just to be safe I dug out the old email details for my paypal account and checked there too... No key.
Left a ticket with them but it's been ages without a response so I thought i'd ask the community!
Any thoughts? Anyone?
the send it to your paypal email
Check your paypal email.
Hi guys, as I wrote, I checked my paypal email, and no key there... it is a VERY old account and frankly I cant be 100% sure it's still actively retrieving emails anymore. I tried opening a ticket with FP, left a facebook message, direct emailed them, I can't really think what else to do beyond asking in here and hoping a MOD or ADMIN sees the message and sorts this shit out, thank god I managed to wait and paid like $20 for it rather than the $50 I was tempted to pay last week!
give it some time
More than the 3 hours it's already been?
How long did you wait? Plus, I don't think there're emails that don't receive emails...: p
You bought a key today and you filled out a ticket but it has been AGES without a response? Ages doesn't mean hours. Give it time
I have waited 3 hours so far, and counting... No, its an old hotmail address from when I was about 14 and it's not in use anymore, after much fiddling and question answering I managed to get back in but it hasn't received any emails since about a week ago when I bought something on steam through paypal... so it's clearly recieving from paypal, but nothing yet from FacePunch... except a bill, getting hulk ragey!
Well.. some e-mail providers disable inactive accounts (while still keeping the user information, so you can login and the account will then be re-enabled)
I had a similar situation, but luckily no money involved.
Best bet is to try to request them to resend the key (change your paypal contact email (if it is possible not sure, if not, make sure your old email is active))

Ages is a period of time, If you'd paid for something in a supermarket and the cashier said, "thanks, you'll have to come back in 3 hours to collect your beans, but we will have forgotton about it by then" you'd be mad as fuck!

Yup, ive changed the email details on paypal which was long overdue but never had any issues before. Waiting for the ticket to even be responded to let alone resolved... I dont mind that it's taking time but Id rather play it on the day I bought it (day off work) then say... a day when im not free to play the bloody thing!
I hade the same.
1)Calm down everything is going to be fine
2)Check you emails for an email from paypal (the email that u bought something or call it rust :P )
3)Write a ticket and explain your sittuation
4)Soon (2-4 days) the support writes back (They're busy)
5)You answer the emai and wait a bit (2-4 days)
6)Be happy and play rust
The support is working really great but slow I think the ppl are writing toooo many tickets.

Yeah cos everyone is trying to blag a free key cos everyone is a pikey bastard... 3-4 days is insane... Governments write back faster than that and theyre useles!!
I just discovered Facepunch has a live chat system that
"Usually takes less than a minute to connect to an agent"
Apparantly after the first 5 minutes you should consider yourself unusual.
