Dont think that's legal or safe.
How Steam points work

I've never seen them available myself and I'd caution against trying to purchase Steam points. They are awarded by community members and from buying games via the Steam store front.
Sounds like a good way to be scammed. Just buy games or take part on the forums and get awards. There really isn't no hurry with steam points, it's not like there is much to do with them after you have your profile the way you want it to..
you get points when you buy games....

why would you risk getting scammed outside of steam....

Never use 3rd party sites to buy points.
Imagine spending money to buy those points, only to find the person who awarded you those points for money have reset their account password which causes any awards/points to be revoked. You be sitting out of pocket with no points to show for it.
Probably not legit or safe to buy them from a 3rd party website.

AFAIK you can only get those points from Steam.
Buy points elsewhere, risk scam??

Buy game on steam, get the points??

Why is this even a question?

Or when you receive awards on forum posts, reviews, guides, etc.
(which is why there's so many junk forum posts trying to get jokers, meme/joke reviews, and pointless "how to hit start game" guides.)

You should not worry about chargebacks....but how would you know in the first place that you would get them?
The only way would to give out awards...and as far as i know it takes 1-2 weeks until those points actually get added to ones account....by that them one may already forgot that they bought them at all and does not check if they got scammed or not.

You can't buy Steam points. You can earn it by purchasing games and being awarded for your community contributions, but anything else is a scam.
I'd advise against that.

How do I get Steam Points?

Whenever you make a purchase on Steam, you'll be given Steam Points based on how much you spend. First, we convert this amount to USD, which then converts directly to the number of points you receive.

You will not receive any points for funding your Steam Wallet or for any Steam Community Market purchases.

You can also get Steam Points if someone from the community grants an award to one of your user reviews or other uploaded content such as screenshots, videos, guides, or Workshop items.

Ask this on the forums today, and then in say a weeks time. Return to the very same forum. Just to cry about stolen items. Visiting third party sites is a terrible idea. That's how folks end up with their wallets emptied, their entire inventories traded away, and their points awarded to strangers.

Either get them by buying games on the store. Hey the Steam autumn sale starts tomorrow, or do some kind of swap with one of your friends. A lot of folks have no use for their points. So they will often trade them away for next to nothing.

What you are considering is legitimately dangerous.

Also, while a seller does not, technically, require any kind of access to the receiving account, such points come from stolen accounts in the first place -- so they will likely try to keep getting new stolen accounts from anyone interacting with them.
sure not
