I have a US Amazon account linked to a US home address and credit card. But I now live in Oz.

Audible uses your Amazon account. And regardless, I’m using an Audible credit for this purchase, so no actual payment anyway.

EDIT: and just to clarify, this is my US Amazon account I’ve had for years

Audible and Amazon accounts are the same. I have an AU account and a US account. But I’m only using the US account to buy the audiobook in the US store, using VPN and private browsing. No CC or similar involved.

But from Australia. So how does Amazon know I’m in Australia?!

From a privacy point-of-view I thought VPN masks such things. I’m trying to understand how Amazon is detecting my physical country.

It’s the version that comes up from a search for that book when using the USA Amazon or Audible site from my USA account plus with a USA VPN on. So I’m assuming the search results are for USA available titles.

As far as I know, Amazon should see me as being in the USA. Hence why I’m confused.

Appreciate the suggestions though.

Neither Amazon or Audible apps have any location services permissions.

Regardless, disabled it system-wide and didn’t make a difference. Thanks though.

Open private browsing window, make sure I’m fully logged out of Amazon. Then log in.

Ie wasn’t previously logged in before the VPN started or private window was opened.

US credit card but am using an audible credit

On iOS. My VPN is set to USA and I’m logged into amazon.com (not .com.au).

Where would this setting be?

Different rules for the rich and powerful.

What baffles me is his supporters all rage against stuff like this but don’t recognise their orange idol sits at the top of the pile.
