Having Some International Issues in the SE Store

[Shirana]

Can you buy it from the US store and ship it to her? At least then she'll get it

I'll prolly have to do that, though I'd end up with in-game moogle minion and not her but at least she would get the plush. Moogles are her favorite thing in FF14 so even just the plush would make her happy. Customer support for the SE store said as much as i figured. They can't just magically go around their security features lolz

I can't vouch for how legal it would be, but using a VPN to place the order would probably work. Before considering that, though, do a little bit of research, look into possible security risks etc. to confirm whether or not you want to make use of that option - I certainly don't want to recommend anything shady. Considering that you'd probably end up paying a higher price than you would the other way around because of EU taxes and €, rather than a lower price, I'm pretty sure nobody would have an issue with it.

Eh if it's illegal I don't want to try it. I never played a game before where buying or gifting something internationally was a problem though lolz

It could also be that the billing address is in a different country and name than the shipping address. This might trigger any bank fraud detection systems. You could call up your card issuer and ask if that's the problem and they might be able to let that process.

That gave me an idea to try and i messed around a lot with my profiles billing/shipping info to see if it could process that way but instead she gets errors before even trying to process the payment that way or just the same errors when trying to process the payment. I haven't given up entirely but i'm going to contact my bank over this and see if the rejection is coming from their end to at least try and eliminate possibilities.

The Store-Website uses ip to verify your country. It is to list only items that are possible to buy within your region!
When you try to buy something, it uses the profile settings to verify your country!

Its not userfriendly but you can bypass both, just not as simple as it should be...

Proxy against the first problem, but VPN is better because security with your login account. Profile edit against the secund problem and you can send her the item...

if using a VPN to get around it is illegal like an above poster mentioned it may i don't want to try it. And from my limited understanding of technical stuff proxies aren't safe and i'd rather not put sensitive info like my bank info into an insecure connection.
