But, btw, how payment itself is doing in that case? Do they redirect to another site (similar to PayPal) after uploading scanned card? |

I can't quite remember. You fill in their payment form and then you have to send the image of your card as a confirmation, and that's it, you don't have to go to any other pages after that. I don't think they use PayPal, unless you select that payment method.

I'm from Argentina. I've bought mine in New York last week and now I'm back in Buenos Aires. I think this product is absolutely amazing. I've also been able to replenish the credit with a non-US credit card. Before I finished the original $50, I've sent to myself a gift of $100... and it worked.
Way to go Sony! Keep titles coming and I'll buy. That's a promise. |

I guess that there is not much to what I did. I think the key is the valid US address and, probably (though cannot be sure), the fact that I had some credit left so part of the gift was paid with 'good' credit. Hope this helps. |

bought Sony Reader from bhphotovideo to the Czech Republic
Hello e-ink fans,
I am just writing that yesterday came my new Sony Reader. I've ordered it at bhphotovideo and payed via wire transfer (don't like credit cards). It took just 5 days from the USA to the Czech Republic (awesome) |

Excellent! Did you have to pay VAT on it when it arrived?

It's the best think.
I was fortunate and payed no customs (electronic devices are free of customs according czech rules) and even no VAT , which is more important for me as it would be 19%. |

You were very lucky . I had to pay over €100 in taxes on mine when it arrived in the UK!

Don't have one sent via a courier service (UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc). If a courier delivers it, they'll pay all the taxes on your behalf and then send you a bill for it, with a large "processing fee" added for good measure. That's what happened to me! Try to have it sent through the normal postal service.

Try again, and if the problem remains, get in touch with the shop. You could also check with your local bank if any recent card verifications have been refused. However, as the error messages doesn't indicate that type of problem, it probably won't help. |

Jupaen,
Send them a fax for the order! I am not sure they will accept email or phone and trying to spell Spanish addresses is a pain over the phone. Good luck and regards from Cádiz, AndiR |
