WTF @ Amazon.com???

[GTaudiophile]

So I am trying to buy an mp3 from them and get the error:

We could not process your order. The sale of MP3 Downloads is currently available only to US customers located in the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.


I am ordering from DC!!! WTF???

Interesting. They must be identifying your location via your IP address.

EDIT: Who is your ISP?

 

[GTaudiophile]

Verizon

According to an IP address web site, my location is DC.

Using a pre-paid CC? Is your CC located in something other than the 48?

No and No.

My normal Visa card, addressed in DC as well.

Finally what we all suspected is confirmed: DC really isn't part of the US.

Okay, so you have to turn on 1-click ordering for it to work.

Did this just started happening recently? I ordered a couple of DVDs a few weeks ago and did not have to turn that on. Hmm.

This applies to the downloading of mp3s...

You'd think they'd tell you you have to turn it on instead of that lame generic warning

He's talking about purchasing mp3's, not buying a player.
