Many non-Kindle products can be bought in ANY marketplace and you MUST buy a gift voucher on the marketplace where it is to be spent, irrespective of marketplace of buyer or redeeming person.
Irish customers can use UK or USA for Kindle content, but not at the same time (you swap) and it applies to ALL kindles on the same account. The availability and price used to be USA, but now seems to be Ireland and simply Dollar equivalent of UK£ (but Ireland uses Euro).
KDP doesn't differentiate UK & Ireland for availability and Euro prices only apply to Marketplaces that use Euro. But big publishers can exclude Ireland from UK prices.
Also Amazon seems to do "personalised" pricing now! The same title can be 78p or £1 for two users in the same Irish city.
it's a mess!
Irish people might often buy from Amazon DE rather than UK because even with "free" shipping on UK (min £35 now) the DE price including shipping can be cheaper and no exchange rate shennanigans. DE offers English. Due to Brexit some UK items don't ship to Ireland now.
There is an Amazon warehouse in Ireland but no Market place. Their system (and ebay) is broken. There should ONE site where you separately pick country, currency and language and then search should only return what ships.
I can search and buy many items on USA, UK and DE. Sometimes it says on the web page it doesn't ship, sometimes only at the checkout.
Also why no shopping basket option on ebooks?
The Publishers are also "broken" in their unofficial carve up of the world especially in English content.
I've bought actual Kindles on USA market place and UK marketplace for Ireland. It's unpredictable what they offer where.
I've bought UK publisher paper books from USA Marketplace mysteriously unavailable or not even listed on UK. This is apart from the stupidity of USA & UK often using a different title for the exact same edition, or a USA version of UK book having USA spelling and grammar (never done in reverse to USA titles).
