I just bought a second UK ebook. Once it's set, it's as simple as buying any other book.

Really, there's only one book, maybe two that I'm interested in buying and are only available in the UK. So it's not top of the list.
That's weird...I'm in the US, and it's definitely an option for me. That's the only way I've ever bought books from Kobo.

PayPal shows up in the pay screen at the end when I purchase books. But it is not available under My Account/Payment Information. Now I know it's no biggie. But at the time, I thought something was wrong.

Ah...I didn't even know that there was a way to store a credit card on the site, as I've always just used PayPal.

Yeah, in the end, thinking I HAD to store a card is what caused issues. Honestly, beyond that, all I did was change my country. I didn't even change my street address. Good luck finding The Woodlands, Texas in England.

Now that I understand, it really couldn't be any easier to buy books from overseas using Kobo.

Amazon did it to me. But it wasn't for a bought book, just books that were only available in another country iirc. Can't even recall if it was the states or the UK. I'm in Canada. Anyway, they closed and deleted my account, no warning, just an email saying why after the fact. This was probably something like 9 years ago.
