Default Subsim & Amazon

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm buying lately a lot through amazon and I find that the subsim sponsorship link just lets me buy from amazon.com (US), while I need most things shipped to EU. Is there any way to buy from amazon uk, de, es and make subsim have a benefit of it??

Click on the Amazon link at top right then scroll down to almost the very bottom and below the Amazon.com sign there are individual country options...these include the UK and Spain.

Another option is to go to Subsim's home page and click on 'Game Store'. That will bring up a page with several Amazon options.

I'm sorry for these elementary questions.

How does it help Subsim to go through the Amazon link?
Does that apply to all purchases?

I certainly want to support Subsim if I can.

Using the SubSim portal means SubSim gets a small percentage of the fee at no cost to you and every little helps pay for the bandwidth fees.

I was going to ask that very same question!
I buy a lot of stuff thru Amazon and it would be good to help out Subsim at the same time.
Thanks all for the advice.

And it applies to anything you buy through Amazon. As you can see I buy a lot of music. I once bought an amplifier using the link. Frau Kaleun buys a lot of household items. It all applies, and Subsim gets a cut from every purchase.

Err, yeah, maybe. But that was only in lowercase, easy point to miss in the middle of a sentence.

(Have I got away with it yet?)
