I am sometimes so surprised with how web2 operates, wanted to buy some shoes online as a gift for my mom who lives in Sweden. However I am located in Spain and my bank account address is tied to my primary address in Portugal. They literally told the engineers at this ecommerce site to block buyers based on ip HAHA

obviously I know I can use a VPN to place the order but just wanted to confirm with customer support how insane it is to block potential buyers like this. Also which customer support mentions IP-address in their wording? Lots of normal people do not understand such words

''please wait 3 months before you can place the order again'' - kind regards customer support

It makes sense because it's the vendor who gets charged by visa or MasterCard for fraudulent transactions, can you believe that?

💯 I often feel like the world - especially anything admin related - is so NOT ready for people living abroad. Just the fact that you need a physical address/base drives me nuts lol.

Actually super common in the states. There are a bunch of retailers who will not even let you access their website from out of the country, and if you try to place an order it'll just instantly cancel, etc. Even if you're in the country using a new IP from your regular one they might cancel the order
