Amazon problem: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

Filed under: Shop in the USA from outside the U.S. — 1 Comment
March 4, 2011

You can buy ebooks from a Kindle Store from outside the U.S.. Let’s see whether it makes sense to have a U.S. address and whether you can buy ebook in the US Kindle Store using a U.S. address, while being outside U.S.A.

Kindle Store books are priced differently for people from different countries. The same book can be free for a customer from the U.S.A., while being not free for other customers. Here is an example: How to Make Money with Social Media: An Insider’s Guide on Using New and Emerging Media to Grow Your Business [Kindle Edition] by Jamie Turner, Reshma Shah is free for US customers and costs $2 for customers from Russia:

Kindle Store: How to Make Money with Social Media

Kindle Store ebook for a customer from the U.S.A: How to Make Money with Social Media

 

Kindle Store for a customer from Russia: How to Make Money with Social Media

Kindle Store ebook for a customer from Russia: How to Make Money with Social Media

 

If you move to another country, you can buy about 5 ebooks using your U.S. address. But then you will get the following message:

Name Surname, please contact us or change your country to complete your purchase.

You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

Are you traveling outside your country?

Please contact customer service in order to continue purchasing Kindle items.

Did you recently move to a new country?

You can easily update your country for your Amazon account.

Amazon: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

Amazon: You attempted to purchase an item while in a different country than listed on your Amazon account.

 

If you want to order ebooks from a US Kindle Store while using a U.S. address, being outside the U.S., and without contacting Amazon customer service, you need to use a U.S. IP address. You can get it by using a U.S. proxy server, a U.S. VPN (Virtual Private Network). You can also use Tor, but the latter is risky. When you have a U.S. IP address, you don’t get any messages and can buy ebooks from Kindle Store without any problem.

Is it possible to buy ebooks from Amazon Kindle Store outside the U.S. ?

To buy ebooks from Kindle Store ebooks outside the U.S., you may register a new Amazon account using an address in the USA. You can use the address of your family member, friend. Or you can get a virtual address mailbox in the USA from a service like Shipito.

If you have problems paying for Kindle Store ebooks with your credit card, just buy an Amazon.com Gift Card (e-mail gift card or printable gift card) and you will be able to pay with it for your order.

Please note that Amazon.com Gift Cards may not be redeemed for the purchase of products at Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.ca, or any other website operated by Amazon.com. You can use them on Amazon.com or Endless.com only.

  1. Download the Kindle for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch application from the iTunes App Store. It’s free.
  2. Create a new account with Amazon.com. Use a US address as your delivery address. You can use a virtual USA address from companies like Shipito.
  3. Sign in to the Kindle for iPad, iPhone, iPhone Touch app with your new account. Your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch should appear in the “Manage Your Kindle” app.
  4. If you have a US debit or credit card, you can pay with it.

  5. Select a Kindle book. On the payment page, enter your Gift Card. Your payment will be processed and your ebook will be downloaded the next time you sync your Kindle for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch app. Your purchased book will appear in the “Archive” section on the Kindle for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch app.

    Note that Amazon can reject your transaction if you use a non-US IP address. You can get one by using a US proxy server, a US VPN.

Using assisted purchases for buying Amazon Kindle Store ebooks from outside the U.S.

“Assisted purchases” are offered by many parcel/package forwarding services. One of them is Shipito. It allows you to get a virtual address in the U.S. for free. Shipito charges 10% for making purchases in online stores.

Buying free ebooks from Amazon that are not free outside the U.S.

Some books from Amazon are free for US customers only. If you pretend to be a customer from the USA, you can get these books for free. You don’t need a US debit or credit card for that. You only need a USA street address and a U.S. IP address.

Free ways to get a U.S. IP address

Amazon uses HTTPS protocol, so you won’t be able to use many free proxy servers and virtual private networks (VPNs). But you can use freeware (adware) software for Windows called Hotspot Shield. It shows ads, but is is a free VPN software supporting HTTPS protocol.

Another free way to get a U.S. IP address is by using free Tor. Tor is a system intended to enable online anonymity, composed of client software and a network of servers which can hide information about users’ locations and other factors which might identify them. This method is more difficult to set up, because you need to set it up with US “exit nodes” only. Besides someone else from the Tor network can potentially do something unlawful using you as an exit node, so Tor is pretty risky.
