Hah! Often I have to go to the Amazon checkout for non-ebook items to discover if it's shipped at all to Ireland and if it is, what the shipping cost is. Also French and German customers get charged in Euros and we (a Euro currency country) get charged in Sterling.
Slightly misleading VAT statements is the least of Irish annoyances with Amazon. Also for ebooks we sell, Smashwords differentiates Ireland and the UK. Amazon Irish ebook sales are "hidden" in USA sales (recent Kindle option) or UK sales.

Search on USA, Germany, UK marketplaces returns items that don't ship to Ireland even when you are logged in. The "official" site for Irish customers is the UK Marketplace, though the English translation and even translating search (i.e. rechargeable battery is translated internally to German for search) is quite good.
