Has anyone ever bought anything from Amazon.co.uk? (especially people from Australia)
The Amazon.co.uk website doesn't accept Paypal, so you have to buy with an Amazon.co.uk Gift Card (the Gift Cards for the American website Amazon.com don't work at Amazon.co.uk). But some of the websites that sell Amazon.co.uk Gift Cards don't accept Paypal as payment for the card, or don't send the cards via email. Can anyone recommend a good website that sells Amazon.co.uk Gift Cards?

Why don't you get a UK member to just buy the Gift Card or whatever...

Seems an easier way of doing it...

I thought they were affiliated with Amazon.com in the United States. So how could they be shady?
In all the years I've been on the internet, I've never bought anything from Amazon. There's always been one reason or another, why I haven't. I really just use Amazon to get information about things, like books.

They're affiliated with Al Jazeera.

If you have a credit card can't you just use that on Amazon UK though?

Amazon backs ISIS with their craaaaaaazy deals
Reptilians might also be involved.

Credit card, debit card, pre paid visa. It all works. It's not like they don't want your money. I buy shit on there like 3-5 times a month. Op just fails because he's in straya

I buy bluray box sets from the UK site all the time, even with shipping it's cheap as hell compared to the us versions.

haven't shopped with amazon for years because they're shit. but i do remember that the only way i could pay for my items was by card. it made sense to me back then because paypal was still a new thing and a lot of places didn't accept it. but i would of thought amazon would of accept paypal payments by now.
