Changing country/ currency

[arley]

So today, I logged into steam, like any other day, and for some reason, game prices are in euros, I live in the UK and yesterday it was GBP. Why has this happened? And is there a way to change back to the UK without entering my address?

Temporary Cooldowns:

If the store country has been changed in the last two weeks or a purchase was made in the previous country within the last 48 hours, you will receive a temporary cooldown on your account. The cooldown will prevent you from changing the store country for a period of time.

Note: Steam Support will be unable to assist you with changing your store region.

After the cooldown...

What if I move and want to change my store country to the new location?

Go to your Account Details page where your store country is listed on the right-hand side under Store and Purchase History. Select Update store country. Once you have selected your new country of residence, your store region and Steam Wallet will automatically update to the new region/currency using daily exchange rates. Future purchases must be made with a payment method that matches the new Steam country.

So, you will need to enter in the address again.

The thing is, I didn't change it in the first place. I logged into steam, and it was somehow in sweden?

Then someone else has access to your account.
Steam Store country cant change by itself, you have to go through an entire process, including filling out a form and confirming it multiple times.


What does it say under "country" here on the right side?

Did you have a VPN active? Mines active all the time, UK servers, but on the odd occasion I've connected and I've been connected to a European and even Saudi so I've had to disconnect and reconnect VPN to correct it.

It says Sweden, and I'm sure nobody has access to my account because I have email steam guard enabled.
