Hi, Well, I've ordered "stuff" using a German credit card before, it was a Visa issued by the Kriesparkasse Muenchen, never had any problems odering from Amazon.com (and .co.uk), bedepot.com, copyleft.org, etc. But then I wasn't into poser at the time, (about 6-12 months ago) Having said that, I did have a problem recently, ordering stuff from Renderotica.com using a UK card from Germany, worked everywhere else though... Meine Deutsch is schlect auch! :) later jb
