Amazon.fr are systemically incompetent. As a UK customer I love Amazon.co.uk but I needed to buy an item on the French site. Debit cards were rejected so I paid by BACs/Swift transfer on Amazon.fr. Payment was approved and the product delivered. A week later I bought a similar product with the same payment process. 2 weeks later my account is locked as the payments were rejected. My account was locked in both in France and in UK account. It has taken me 3 weeks to sort out with international wire transfers to pay the sums rejected by Amazon's bank. Amazon have been useless at communications, and are unable to discuss issues on the phone. they only deal by sending emails with no channel for reply. I will never use again
