    I've got a $55 Gift voucher to spend on Amazon.com (the US store), and normally I'd buy Playstation Live store credit for my US PSN account:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C7YD17T?ref_=pe_1871410_140945350&th=1

    but these are no longer being sold, so what else can I buy from there digitally for Steam or Oculus Rift ? Can I use US Steam giftcards on my Irish Steam account?

    I assume anything I buy there will end up incurring import duty fees when it arrives in Ireland?

    I used to buy steam game codes. Haven't done it in a while though. Bought Titanfall 2 Origin code in February as well. I live in New Hampshire to avoid Sales tax

    Can buy PS4 codes/steam codes but not that cheap if its a new game (have to activate on your US PS4 account tho), some games on steam are US only so google before hand.

    PIckup some old games Siege is cheap on it.

    Oh yeah forgot about that.

    How much is shipping from US to Ireland with AddressPal?

    Also does it avoid customs fees?

    You can use US gift cards. I recently was given a £20 Steam voucher by a friend from London as a going away present and I didn't think it was going to work but Valve convert it into local currency and credit your account.

    In Gabe we trust.

    Seem to be physical-only

    https://www.amazon.com/Steam-Gift-Card-20-pc/dp/B00FN50BYC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1531378995&sr=8-2&keywords=Steam+wallet

    Also price for $20 is $27? Ick...I know I'll probably end up wasting 25% on shipping or duties etc so no getting round that

    What about custom fees?

    Seems about same price as getting shipped from US directly.
