I was wondering if anyone knows the website you can sign up to to use a European card to buy stuff on American websites? I know there is some site out there that you can sign up to and it lets you then be able to buy stuff from american sites that only take american based credit cards. Does anyone know what im talking about?
Thanks a million guys...

I would be highly dubious of any such site

well as far as i know its fairly popular cos american sites are way cheaper than europeans ones...esp the mac site....the website is something like paypal as far as i know....

but most sites allow any valid VISA/MC etc to be used.. which sites don't?

but while buying through american sites is cheaper, will they ship outside of america?
Sometimes, im trying to buy stuff to send to puerto Rico, and they wont accept the puerto Rican address.

what do you want to buy?

yeah its not the credit card as far as I know, its more that places dont deal/ship outside of the US because of tax/import/export duty/shipping and all that jazz.

You usually get a nasty toll fee on top of the shipping, too. Isn't that cheap in the end.

the global market is a myth to make people think we are all playing on the same field.

um but you can still buy plenty of stuff and ship anywhere in the world... (except for that one time Kagi wouldn't let us sell one of our CD's to a customer in Iran)..

Most american stores won't ship to address different from the one associated with the card.
Amazon accepts every card and ships anywhere, but doesn't ship electronics outside US

Ok, so if nobody knows of this site, let me pose another question!, I want to buy a Macbook Pro and a Sony Vaio and i dont want to get ripped off ( as you do on a daily basis living in Ireland), does anybody know a good, deals website that i could order from?

well, there is american sites that wont accept other then an american visa or mastercard...I had that problem myself ones when i was in the US, but i could not use my swedish visa card to buy an airplane ticket home, event o the shiping address was in the states...something about that they need a address to confirm that the card is vaild or something..

right yeah, this is exactly the problem im having but apprently this website you can sign upto lets you establish some sort of address in america connected to you credit card....ive been scouring for the site, should have bookmarked it in the first place.
