    I hope this is the right section for this?

    I have never bought anything online before and I have a few questions about amazon.co.uk that im hoping somebody can answer...

    1. Lets say I buy £200 worth of clothing from amazon and I want to pay using my pre paid visa, how is the currency converted, do amazon convert the money on my card from € to £ and would it cost me a lot more then I am hoping (roughly what would £200 worth of clothing cost me in € ? )

    2. Do I get free shipping if spending over a certain amount?

    3. Returning goods if they are not a nice fit etc, does it cost money to return the items or is it free?

    4. Do clothing items go on sale often? If a hoodie is £45 atm, could it be reduced at any time? Should I check often to see if the item gets cheaper?


    Any answers from people with experience buying on pre paid cards would be appreciated thanks :)

    You chose at the checkout.

    Depends on the goods.

    You'd have to pay for returns. If the goods are faulty, then you should be refunded the cost. If you just don't like them, then you pay the cost.

    How long is a piece of string. This is an impossible to answer question.

    Pre-pay or post-pay credit card won't make any difference to the situations you've asked about here.
