Buying e-books outside US with VPN no longer possible?
I have been buying e-books from B&N using my Dutch credit card, Borderlinx US address and alwaysVPN for more than a year.
Yesterday I bought a gift card. That order was cancelled because gift cards could only be sold to US/Canada. Today I tried to buy some books, those orders were also cancelled.
It looks like B&N detects that I am buying from outside the US.
I have checked the VPN. My geo-location is still the US.
What extra check has B&N added:
- Are they not allowing some specific VPN providers like alwaysVPN?
- Are the checking the country of my credit card?
- Are they not allowing my Borderlinx US address?
I would like to know which extra check B&N has added to their system. So I would like to hear from other people if they are still able to buy e-books from B&N from outside the US using a non-US credit card and a VPN.
