Amazon in-app purchase error, region not supported - General Questions and Answers

I really hope that someone will help me, because i'm really confused right now. So i won a giveaway for 50% off 40 classic packs on Hearthstone. I won 2 times and the first time i used an amazon.com code, but my account is for amazon.de. Then I used an amazon.de code and it was accepted on the website, but when i tried to buy the packs, the app gives me a region error of some sort. I am currently outside of Germany but i hope i can fix this issue nevertheless. I tried using multiple German VPNs but i still got the region error every single time. I would pay with a paypal account, with euros, so it's not a regional credit card or anything, and moreover i was able to buy amazon coins, which can only be bought in uk, germany and usa. What could I do? I'm starting to freak out, I need those packs!!
Tl;dr I can't use a discount code for packs outside of Germany, Amazon in-app store gives me a region error. Please help i'm desperate.

I don't know how things work in Argentina, but I know here in the states, if you've been with your carrier long enough you can request an unlock code from them at no charge.

^^ Exactly what this guy said. CONTACT EBAY RIGHT AWAY!
CALL THEM ON THE PHONE. Say, "Item not as described". Tell them you want to escalate it to a claim. They will tell you to ship the item back and give them a tracking number, also get delivery confirmation. You will get your money back as soon as eBay gets delivery confirmation from the postal service.
Experience: Returned a touch screen acer laptop with dead zone in the touch screen when it was claimed to be 100% working
AND WHEN YOU GET YOUR MONEY BACK... I have 2 Motorola backflips... I bought one unlocked, used it on T-Mobile for 2 days, and then saw AT&T was offering free backflips with new service. So now I'm on AT&T with a free Backflip, but I do have an unlocked Backflip sitting here as well. I'll sell it to you for $280 + shipping, via eBay. I bought it for $290 about 3 weeks ago. You should also use "Bing Cashback" to get 8% cash back on the "Buy it Now". PM me if you're interested.
The Backflip is the hottest phone ever.. Lol. Good choice.
lol i dont know about the backflip being "the hottest phone ever" but i guess to each their own right
If you bought something on eBay but didn't receive it or you received something that's significantly not as described, PayPal Buyer Protection can help.
PayPal Buyer Protection covers eligible transactions for the full purchase price plus original shipping charges. Some purchases -- like vehicles in the Motors category, capital equipment in the Business & Industrial category, and Real Estate -- aren't eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection.
To qualify for PayPal Buyer Protection:
Use PayPal to buy an eligible item on eBay.
Pay for the item with one payment. Items purchased with multiple payments aren't eligible.
Send your payment by clicking the Pay For It button on the eBay invoice or by clicking the Pay Now button on the eBay item page.
Let the seller know there's a problem with the transaction by opening a dispute in the Resolution Center within 45 days of making your payment. Then, escalate the dispute to a claim within 20 days of the date you opened the dispute.
Keep your PayPal account in good standing.
Find out more about PayPal Buyer Protection in our PayPal User Agreement.
You can report your problem in the PayPal Resolution Center or the eBay Resolution Center. Either way, you’ll receive the same coverage.
To find out how to report a problem on eBay, go to eBay and click "Resolution Center" at the bottom of any page.
The fastest way
I am not going to add anything useful to the conversation. BUT....
While the Paypal dispute resolution center is a great thing. I think the fastest and easiest way to go about this is to get a freaking code. He has the phone there, there's no need to reship wait and buy another and so on. That is if he can get a code... That was the question.
Open a dispute, or spend $2.15, its not that expensive

All you guys fail with your comments
I say he should ask him for the $3 to get a unlock code. He will probably say yes to avoid shipping costs of sending it back and the hassle of dealing with a return.

Hi,
I bought several times in Ebay from Argentina, I opened a dispute once and got my money back, but maybe, in this case, it's better to just unlock the phone in your hands.
Anyway, I'm willing to buy a phone, mainly for internet and email while traveling in Argentina. I want to buy an AT&T blackberry or similar. I know this unlocked phones do work for sms and calling, but I don't know if they work for Email and Internet or 3G: did you unlock your phone? does it work for Internet and Email?
Thanks

[Q] Purchasing N5 from other country

Hello,
I've just ordered a Nexus 5 from Google Play and sent it to a friend of mine in US.
I used my credit card but in the billing address I used the shipping address (in the US), so it will let me purchase is, because Google Play doesn't sell it in my country.
The order was successful, but I heard of people who ordered but later got their order declined because of their credit card country that mismatched the shipping address.
Does anyone know after how much time I can be sure my order "passed the test" and won't be declined?
Thanks,
Elad

Nexus 5 replacement / Play Store

Hi,
My Nexus 5 was purchased from the U.S. Play store, paid for with a U.S. card and delivered to a U.S. address. (my American colleague helped me out with all this!). My Google account was set up in the UK, although I am now living in West Africa, in Ghana to be precise
Google have kindly agreed to replace my handset, which I've managed to get back to the States. They can send me a time-sensitive URL to sort out the replacement process which basically involves entering U.S. card details for payment although no funds are actually removed from the card itself.
The problem is I need to access the U.S. Play store on my notebook so I can properly use the link (which is somehow linked to the U.S. store) but even using a VPN and selecting a U.S. city, I'm not managing to get into the U.S. Play store and see USD prices, still seeing UK
Does anyone have an idea how I can get into the U.S. play store while still based here in Ghana? If you've done something similar before, I would really appreciate some detailed instructions
Thanks!

OnePlus 6 not existing on Amazon UK?

Hi,
I saw how the OnePlus 6 came out today, and how it is for sale everywhere but Amazon in the UK. I don't particularly like buying from Germany, as I don't want to pay the extra conversion rate fee, if any.
Please can someone confirm when it will be available on Amazon in the UK.
Kind regards
I'm from the UK, always buy through the official OnePlus website starting at £469 and wait for shipping or get 64gb for £499 from the O2 shop in-store.
They have not ever launched with another partner in the UK other than o2
Thanks
I just ordered it off the official website. Shame I have to wait a week for it though

Yeah I went to the popup in London, at lunch time was too busy but went after work and got it quickly! It's worth the wait - I wish I waited and used my student discount now!
o2 have matched oneplus website pricing, if it's not official yet (i was told it will be today) you do need a £15 payg sim if buying it outright though.
EDIT: yep prices are matched on o2 website now, pop in to a store and get it there and then or click and collect (skipping the payg sim requirement)

Google Play Gift Card

It has only been a few days, I think Google has caught on. Now Google Play Gift Card Redeem is now geolocked.
So here's the story my google account is set up as India as the country of origin. Bought a giftcard, I tried to redeem it but unfortunately it showed me an error. Saying it is only redeemable of the country of purchase.
I used a paid VPN to see if it works and still no luck.
The feature used to work a few months back Now it doesn't.
Does anyone has a fix for it ?

Did u brought it on websites like ebay
Update: I found a website that will or should explain everything about this issue here's the link
Google Play Gift card complete transaction error reported to Google
Google Play Gift card transaction reportedly won't complete as Google Play throws error, issue acknowledged and reported to Google.
piunikaweb.com
I think you'd better contact the customer service of Google Play Store for help.
has anyone found a way around that? I bought one of amazon today for an indian account and get the same message. How does google detect the country u are in? Maybe someone knows a way to get Indian residential IP? I am using PIA for vpn so far
