    Amazon Marketplace

    Hi, was wondering if anybody could clear this up for me. I've been looking @ buying DVDs using Amazon market place, as some things can be gotten for brand new from retailers for quite cheap. However, from reading this...

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...167077-5207652

    ...it looks like the postage to European union countries for DVDs is only £1.79. Am i right in saying that if I were to buy a DVD from a UK seller, they would send it to me in France and the p&p would only be £1.79. Also, are they obligated to sell to people outside the UK, or can they refuse overseas buyers. Thanks for any help.

    I sent a DVD to California, for about £2 or so, so £1.79 is probably right, given that it weighs probably very slightly less, and is in the EU.

    The thing is I'm buying mostly Box sets, containing 3-4 DVDs, according to that link I should still only be charged £1.79 I hope.

    It's always a risk I suppose, never used ebay either but heard enough horror storys to keep me away.

    Most of the prices listed by sellers are double of what amazon.fr are selling. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but the prices r high and it's not as developed as the UK and US marketplace when u compare what the Uk amazon is offering these days (DVD rental etc).

    Bought off CD-WOW once, seemed alrite but they don't have what I'm looking for @ the mo. I went for www.blahdvd.com, I read nothing but satisfyed comments on other forums and its free delivery. Looks like a spin-off of the play website, with less selection tho. Prices were berrer than play (simpsons or on sale now) better than play (price wise):
    Futurama Season 4 Box Set 1 £17.99
    Futurama Season 3 Box Set 1 £17.99
    Simpsons Season 2 1 £13.99
    Simpsons Season 3 1 £13.99
    Simpsons Season 4 1 £13.99
