Defrauded by Gamersgate!

[Monk]

The trouble seems to be that my order is listed "pending" although PayPal reported it transacted and my bank clearly displays the provision.

Sounds like a problem with their server rather than they purposefully defrauded you. Either wait to get your refund from Paypal or continue with seeking help from their support. Though i have to agree with Beskar, email support systems normally take a full day to get back to you.(or have in my online ventures) It would be much easier if they had a contact #, i'm surprised they don't.

Hmm. Other suggestions. Possibly a problem with cookies or your browser? I'd log out of gamersgate and then log back in, if you haven't already tried it. If you have more than one browser installed on your PC then try using the other. I can confirm that Firefox has no issues with the site.

Noscript and adblock both play absolute havoc with transaction processes. I would highly recommend disabling any program of their ilk before attempting to purchase something online.
