Amazon.co.uk gift certificate may be another option.

As a side note, both Amazon.de and .co.uk suck for most of Europe, since they won't ship anything but software, music and books etc outside of the home country. You can forget about electronics if you're a foreigner.

I'm not sure if there are better options that would cover the whole continent, just letting you know that I was a little frustrated when I found this out myself. Sort of defeats the purpose of getting a big gift certificate when the store won't let you purchase any of the expensive stuff.

ummm...you buy the certificates to sell them on eBay

Re: Poker Stars Screwing Us
 

You think maybe, just maybe they have already bought the said item in a certain amount at a fixed cost before the recent price decreases?

Also, did you even bother to read the reply from PokerStars? Just by trying to make the Euro-centric items similar in price to the US ones, PokerStars loses a lot of value due to European taxes.

That process is a good idea. However you get hit by fees 2x. Once for the ebay fee, the other through paypal if the user pays by CC.

Re: Poker Stars Screwing Us
 

Do you think maybe, just maybe, PokerStars makes millions and millions each year and should accept the depreciation in value of their items like a normal "store" and change the price? After all, we are "VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE."

Normal stores don't have the same price for USA and Europe customers in goods such as electronics. Get over it. Stop crying.
