What exactly did you tell STEAM? I understand that you sold the game via eBay to someone else and that they are not allowed to register the game with STEAM. I also gather that you have no problems refunding their money and postage, but the refund bit is between you and the third party you sold the game to, not STEAM. So what was in your communication with STEAM after they said that the game could not be re-registered by another person?
OK the man who i sold the game to FEAR3 told me he could not register this game....Now This is pure FACT i also sold Battlefield 3 to the same person,so i telephoned E.A.tel#0870 243 2435 about this Battlefield 3 situation,i asked them to email me the reason why i cannot sell the game.

What is the situation when i have sold my FEAR 3 game on Ebay,and obviously you must use the CD-Key to register the game on Steam,You can see via my account that i have never played on-line and i never will, i always play Single player or Campaign,could you please explain to me what the third party has to do when this situation arises,as it has done in my case today.
My Kindest Regards.
P.S. Thank you to all the Steam staff who do a difficult job at times with awkward customers for me you have always been there,once again Thank you to all Steam Staff.

Hi at Steam i know you are busy but i am awaiting a reply to my fist contact on Wednesday 22nd August,also just to add that i only purchase Hard copys of my games on CD from the high street retailer GAME,so i would be very grateful if you could clarify my situation on this game FEAR 3 which has been sold on Ebay,now the purchaser wants to return the game to me because he cannot use it,also incurring Extra costs to myself and postage for the Return of the game to me through no fault of mine.
My Kindest Regards.
