my billing is in europe, i tried putting something random but didn't work....my country postal code is 4 units instead of 5 which doesn't help either

anything that could work?

 

Have you tried purchasing with Paypal? If the seller does not send abroad, then send gear to a shipping company in the US which will ship it to your address.

In case you’re buying overseas trying to get a better price on gear, it won't work: considering the shipping costs and import taxes, it is very likely that the goods will cost more than buying it from the European distributor. Note also that you will have problems with the power source 110/220 and plug. Furthermore, in the unfortunate case of defective goods, you are in trouble with warranty and return.

 

it always has to be whatever zip/postal code that actually matches the card, for billing. It doesn't matter where you are shipping it to. The information will not match the card and look like incorrect or fraudulent information and it will reject the payment.

 

Actually, it is not necessary for the shipping address to match the billing address, furthermore, Paypal will not disclose your credit card data.

 

there are many reshipping businesses that will buy things for you and ship them to you if none of the above suggestions fit your scenario

 

Exactly: the point is that if you are truly motivated to buy gear in the US and receive it in Europe, then yes: it is absolutely possible. Nothing can stop our GAS

 

of course shipping and billing can be different, or there would be no reason for them to need both. Multi-location companies would need a different billing account for every location they might order something from, and that would be lunacy for purchasing, shipping, and accounting. What I commented was that the billing information input to the order is matched to the cardholder/account holder information.
Having an incorrect Zip Code would be the same as having an incorrect CCV. The ship-to information doesn't matter, because it's main function is for someone who prints a shipping label and sticks it on a box.

 

I'll take a wild guess that this store is sweetwater?

If its software try audiodeluxe or jrrstore, neither of them give a shit where you are and neither charge vat either.
