How long does it take until the money taken from my account on a failed debit card transaction to return to my account? I tried to order Half Life Platinum Pack off Steam for my little brother about 10 minutes ago, and I mistyped my address, so it said failed. I checked my bank statment though, and it charged me for it... so, how long until this money stops processing and returns to my account?

Depends on the bank, but I'd say give it at least 7-10 business days.

It'd still be a pending transfer, it may look like the money is gone but it isn't. Just order it again and you shouldn't have any problem.

I don't really want it though, we just decided he could use one of my 3 cd keys.

Will it ever clear up out my account so I can use the money again?

Yes. If the charge ever changes status from "Pending" to "Completed," (which I doubt) you'll need to contact steam (and/or your bank) to resolve the issue.
