<p>okay, so like a brand new textbook that i need for this year that costs $106 on amazon.com only costs 44 pounds (77 US dollars) at amazon.co.uk. Even with shipping, it saves me more than 20 dollars. So im wondering if there is anything preventing me from buying textbooks this way if i just used a regular credit card like Visa or Mastercard. Even though it charges the money in british pounds, could i still buy the book?</p>
<p>anyone with previous experience? thanks</p>
<p>I don’t think it would be a problem except that it might take longer to get there…not sure though.</p>
<p>I know that sometimes with international editions, the books aren’t hardback though - they’re softcover.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that as long as the website takes your brand of card, the credit card company will do the money exchange for you (my atm worked to take money out while I was in Ireland). Make sure the isbn numbers are identical.</p>
<p>my visa worked in poland ang germany. credit cards work anywhere, they do the monetary exchange for you, perhaps with a small fee depending on which company you have.</p>
