I fully appreciate your concern with the possibility of fraud.

Thank you.

Once I have the gift card, that has effectively confirmed my address. Presumably you will then accept my legitimate credit card, otherwise the gift card is of no use whatsoever.

As of this moment, no. The credit card must originate in the same country as your residence. That said, we've recently begun a new initiative to ease transactions for our non-USA customers. The person heading that initiative and I have an excellent rapport and he's been brought up to speed on your situation and the ramifications for all our customers, particularly those of the EU.

I cannot dispute that but I do know this is the first time I've been confronted with this situation. While I am not privy to every customer's transactions it's likely I'd have heard about this from others in your situation before now if this was a frequently occurring difficulty.
That said, we appreciate the world is changing in many ways and we have to be able to accomplish dual, often seemingly contrary, tasks. Among those are easing the path for you to shop here while simultaneously continuing to deter credit card fraud and identity theft to the best of our abilities.
