stop trying to change your accounts regional store.
just purchase your games in china like you were suppose to.

he is so fixated on the region being set back to HK, he wants to make that his point that valve is doing something wrong.

there is a correction in region in place, so it will set you back to CN, but because the distance between HK and CN is almost non existent, it will make an assumption of which region to put your account in, and then correct itself, if that was wrong.

one can not however deny, you are Chinese and most likely if not certainly an account regional changer.

I can even provide Steam with other documentation such as my school credentials.But they didn't ask me to provide these materials, they just changed my region to HK without permission.

i forgot steam is an official world wide authority that has access to validate documents, look up id, drivers license all that good stuff.

they are like the valve government of the world.


i gave you an explanation of why HK was set, and why it was later corrected to CN.

yes,i see, im a chinese and my account is registered in China in 2013.There is no doubt that I am a Chinese.But I've been coming to Argentina with my parents for almost a year.I had already changed the account region to Argentina when I came here.
But now I keep getting unexpected errors when I pay purchase

i dont really care, what your story is.
your choice of word indicates you are "traveling" between each country.
so perhaps that is your issue.

If you change your country frequently, then the country in which you have PERMANENT residency in counts.
If you have multiple permanent residencies, then the bank's nationality of your payment method (i.e. credit card) counts.

If you permanently live in Argentina, you need to prove it with a real address, i.e. a utility bill in your name AND need a bank account in Argentina. Contact Steam Support and provide them with a proof of residence to rectify the situation.

So what? You are trying to take advantage of cheap prices. If you are able to travel to Argentina like that then you have money. You aren't living off of Argentine wages so why are you entitled to the prices there?

Because Steam requires a valid payment method from that country e.g. a payment card linked to an Argentinian bank to change the region. If you don't have one of those you can't change the region. This was done because people were abusing regional pricing to get cheap games.

I can't change the region using my Argentinian bank card
An unexpected error yellow message is displayed

you have to wait 90days after changing the region to change region again
