I have got some CS items that I can turn into monies in my Steam wallet that I again could turn into a Steam Deck. The only problem is that I live in Norway and therefore can not.

I am tempted to switch my location to Sweden and order it to an address there since I live quite close, but I am wondering if this would break TOS or in some other way make this unviable?

Thank you for any helpful advice or suggestions!

Thank you for confirming - I had also heard this.

I was more worried about switching country/location despite not actually living there and if my inventory might get trade blocked if I do something wrong?

I created a new steam account with a different email address just to order mine on a different country than my main account. You might need a local payment method for the country you are shipping to. Not sure if that’s the case for Europe, but it’s required for some countries.

Yeah I was thinking about this aswell. But then again you get the trade ban from creating a new account though. I am trying to sell my CS inventory which means I will be buying using steam wallet funds, not card or any other payment option.

If you use region switching to start buying games that are region locked or to abuse regional pricing, then Valve is gunna care. Otherwise, don’t think Valve will even notice you bought a Swedish Deck and used it in Norway
