prolly because their competition went the other way and began collecting the GST for our government.

suddenly Amazon was losing money to their competition.

You're still geo-blocked from amazon.uk though,so it's not a complete reversal.

I never use Amazon anyway

Me neither.

I keep hearing all the hype & I have had a look at the aussie site but I didn't like the way it was set out particularly and the prices were nothing special.

And as for the US site, in the past I did see a couple of things I would have bought but the sellers didn't ship to oz anyway.

I'm glad you can now buy certain items from Amazon USA. And occasionally its a lot cheaper than buying exactly the same stuff off Ebay.
