I did not even change my street information, literally just the country. With gift credit active on my account, I went into my payment information and changed my country to the target region that had the book I'm seeking. I just bought myself a gift card from my own region's Kobo store. I did not do any of the nonsense you describe. I have gift credit on my account from a gift card. I have encountered what you have, that a certain book is not available for purchase in my region, only from a different region's Kobo store. Supposedly there is no need for a VPN, or creating an entirely new PayPal set to Japan, if you jump through the previously described hoops, but none of it seems to work for me. I've tried creating a different Kobo account from scratch and give it a Japanese address and phone number, as some guides suggested, but it still detects my IP anyway. But when I try to buy an eGift card from the store, it redirects me to the Japanese store and a message says the option is not available for me. I read you are supposed to send yourself a gift card using a different account and pay with that to skip the PayPal or credit card region check. They show up in my search and I can add them to the cart, but when I try to pay with PayPal, it gives me an error and the payment fails. I'm from Spain and want to buy some obscure as hell ebooks in Japanese. I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I've seriously read hundreds of threads and guides on how to do this and nothing seems to work.
