    There was x2 warehouse stock of the Back to the Future poster I posted in the main thread, but both now gone, so good to know I'm not the only one with such fine taste :pac:.

    I notice someone posted in the no chat thread that they paid in euro with amazon currency conversion

    Pay in £££££ folks

    Nope. I always pay revolut. Just showed the pre purchase price for another poster.
    My delivery arrived last week. Should do me for more than 3 days!!!!
    I hope.

    I've always noticed that when I pay for something on Amazon with my debt card that I get hit with a 46c fee, anyone else experience this and is there any way around it? I don't tend to use Revolut much, besides keeping it topped up with money is there anything else to do with it?

    It'll save you 46c minimum every time you use it!

    Plus Revolut has better exchange rates..


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 7,638 Mod ✭✭✭✭delly


    Plus if you're on aib, they charge you 20c every time you use your card. Still don't know why I'm still with them!

    I'm with Permanent TSB and I'm supposed to have free banking, I must contact them about it, until then I'll just top up my Revolot card.

    If you’re paying in £ it will be their charge for currency exchange

    I've tried it with both their exchange or in pounds, same rate.

    Use Revolut. Nothing else.

    N26 and curve are alright too
    Other cards matter :D

    N26 work the exchange for similar to revolut? Didn't realise that. Have one but always use Revolut


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,912 ✭✭✭Marhay70


    I thought you had to pay for N26 transactions, that's why I never use them, always Revolut.

    Harry Potter DVD box set (all 8 films) from Amazon.fr. Was showing up initially at €14.95 but is now €15.08 + €5.34 P&P. So total is €20.42

    Am I missing something or are these dubbed in French?
    Also some reviews saying counterfeit or low quality. I'd like to get them as the kids are getting to a good age for these, but the reviews are putting me off.

    They have a free plan the same as Revolut

    N26 Basic at €0 a month offering free ATM withdrawals in euros and free payments in any currency
    N26 You at €9.90 a month offering N26 Basic plan features plus free withdrawals worldwide and an Allianz insurance package
    N26 Metal at €16.90 a month offering N26 You plan features plus dedicated customer support and exclusive partner offers

    Is the basic plan unlimited? I wouldn't be interested in ATM withdrawals, just Amazon in sterling or supermarkets in Euros

    This one won't ship to Ireland!
    Am I doing something wrong, or did the sellers cop on to the bargain? :(

    Well if that’s the case, you’ve a UK address selected. No way it’s shipping if you’ve a ROI address as primary.

    When the deal was posted it was being sold by a seller at that cheap price that would ship to Ireland (I think it might have been KingDian and fulfilled by Amazon). Now it is being sold by Amazon EU which does not ship to Ireland.

    Nope, it was Irish address and a delivery date of 18th. It was a good deal but I had no use for one. Just tried to give feedback.

    Cool, so I just missed the bargain, I wasn't doing anything wrong then :)

    Most stuff sold by Amazon EU doesn't seem to ship to Ireland. Seems counterintuitive?

    From what I understand, the "Amazon EU" store is simply ordering stuff from Amazon DE through Amazon UK. So it's probably set up in a way so that anything that's bought from that store is automatically flagged for customs into the UK, which is why we instead have to order direct from Amazon DE.
