1. Amazon Australia doesn't exist.
2. Credit cards only, Buyer protection is actually remarkably good and Amazon are very good to deal with. Watch out for slow postage though. Some things don't take long on the lowest available postage, but I did have some DVDs go missing once. But then Amazon were really helpful about it, sent out another lot which arrived, and then the originals arrived too! I asked if they wanted them sent back and they said give them to charity. SO I auctioned them and gave the money to charity!
3. Things to look out for.
  • Making sure things are Amazon Global Eligible, which is an option in the side bar, otherwise what you want can't be sent out. Sadly not everything can be posted outside of the US.
  • Postage. While buying from Amazon direct is great with cheap shipping, buying from the 'Marketplace' sellers is like buying from ebay with stupidly expensiv shipping. You'll know if your dealing with a marketplace seller as it'll say something like "fulfilled by ~" next to the buy button somewhere.


That's about it really. Amazon are pretty good to deal with. I say go for it!
