Trying to get the new Eels single, US store only (go f'ing figure!) Signing up for new account presents payment options, I live in Canada, so my billing address "doesn't match bank records". Paypal option, sweet. Both Bank, and CC are in Canada, again no go.
There is no "None" in payment options, just 4 CC's and PP.

Anyone else have any idea?

4) Sign in with Canadian Account.
5) Sync apps. When you do this, it will say that Skype was not installed as you are not authorized to use it. So, sign out and click Authorize Computer with your US Account details.
6) Now sync (not logged into any account), and it installs flawlessly.
Worked like a charm, thanks.

Hey, what is up with getting a Taiwanese website when you try to buy a subscription to skype! I have two accounts and have never seen that!!

Go here and click:

Prices – what’s free and what costs a little on Skype

and click "buy now" and you get...

PChome Online ???? - PChome-skype

Seems like a hack or something..

there's a thread in the 'anything mac' forum with specific how to details.

i did it in about 2 minutes flat.

the only problem is that skype is being very finicky for me. I've made a few phone calls and then it tells me i need skype credit (when I've clearly signed up for the $2.95 NA unlimited calling).

arrggh..

I did mine through the Australian store. It doesn't require an australian credit card, just an address (be inventive).

Hours later, still getting the Chinese website which looks completely bogus! I wonder if skype has been hacked.

I'm not getting that here, just the regular skype site, even when clicking the "buy now" button.

You're not having us on, are you?
