Amazon sucks.

Posted 11-05-2016 at 10:29 AM by Varrok
You basically can't buy anything from Amazon in Poland if you don't have a credit/debit card, but even if you do, it only accepts just a few types of them.

And it doesn't accept paypal.

So, if you want to buy something that's only on amazon, you're screwed. Even if you have money.

I don't think you can order stuff from Amazon without a card anywhere. And do you not use Visa and MasterCard in Poland? I've never not been able to order things in Romania and generally Poland is able to do more things than Romania.

Well I mean, if you want to get really convoluted you can always utilize that Amazon banking service I can't remember the name of that basically functions like Paypal.



Also I don't know what you were expecting from an exclusively online service that's a direct competitor with things like Paypal and Google Wallet of course you'd need a credit/debit

Even if made a card, my bank is not supported. It's very convoluted, and I don't know the details, but there are lists of cards that work or do not work with Amazon and it appears I'm not on the good side.

Similar thing happens with Google Wallet, but fortunately, I never needed to buy anything using it

Anything. PaySafeCard, having buyable gift cards in Poland. Anything.

Eh, fair enough. Definitely probably talk to customer service about that, since, I'm pretty sure there would be no objections to making their services more accessible to international customers

At times like this I wish I had friends or family members to buy me things

Have you tried buying from any of the European Amazon sites (UK/DE/FR/IT/ES)? They may be somewhat more flexible in what cards they accept.

Yeah I was gonna say I'm kind of surprised you were using the US site and not a Euro site, which brings me back to my post about not knowing what you were expecting

Either way I'm sure something will be figured out sooner or later

I'm actually surprised the customer service rep didn't suggest that at all^

Also, @Nate, could you please explain to me how come the shipping is labeled as "Free" until the checkout when it actually says "Fuck you, pay us like 40 bucks"?

Same item as before.

I mean, fuck Amazon, am I right?

Dunno. Probably it assumes you're in the USA.

But you can select another country before even adding the item to the cart and shipping price stays the same.
