steam store region

[◥▶ . ◀◤]

so basically i moved from france to algeria.
with steam new rules i need to make a purchase with a local payment method from algeria to update my store region wich is acutually from euros to usd!
but here's the problem: there are no payment methods in algeria, no one uses credit cards here as they are expensive and use euros as thier currency, i contacted steam many times but they kept giving me generic responds anyone has any ideas?

Not anymore. With the billing address you enter in from Algeria and the USD card, that should switch it.

Regardless of the shady things, you must have a payment method with a billing address tied to it from the country you are physically in now. More on that here...

Whatever you were told by support, do as it says in the above link.

what shady things?? my problem is simple i moved to a coutry where there are no payment methods for me to use in order to change the store region, just because france has those laws that bound valve that doesnt mean i have to be a part of it since i dont live there anymore.
