That must get annoying. I've never shopped with pixmania either as I've a personal gripe with them (I own mypix.ie and they threatened me with legal action to get it off me). @Cormac I actually noticed that as well and I couldn't find where on the website that you could actually change the currency to euro. I was looking at the list of Amazon shops an thinking it would be better off just shopping in the German one. @Gavin Haven’t noticed that myself as I’ve never really shopped with them.

Ridiculous for a company like Amazon to throw Ireland and the UK in the same boat.

Then when you go to check out, it tells you it can't send this to the Republic of Ireland. Grrr. pixmainia.ie is where i end up!
