Regarding the Paypal option - apparently that does not circumvent the restrictions regarding purchases from outside the US. I found a blog with numerous entries about Amazon and Paypal all of which said "no you can't use Paypal for Amazon purchases" though there was a reference to a Paypal debit card which could work. I get the impression that there is some sort of turf war going on here - am I stating the obvious???? Yes the gift card option seems to be the way to go. I found the blog by searching for 'paypal amazon' - interesting result covering 2 years of blogging on this topic.
