Shopee not avaiable to foreigner

[thailandsgreat]

I used to surf Shopee and hotel staff helped me buy. But since a few days I get blocked "Shopee app not available in your country."

 

Changing my Play Store address would mean changing my Google address and shifting it out of EU could be bad for my medical insurance etc. You can also only change it once yearly.

 

The advice using VPN is meaningless. I am already surfing on Thai True phone.

 

How can I access the Shopee links appearing in Google? I can see the content for a split second and then it's blocked.

I have started logging in to the web page with phone number (Thai) and ditching Google or Facebook log in. It could be a solution. Let's see how long it lasts.

Use the phone app. Change the region in the settings in your phone. Download the app.

I've been using Shopee for 7 years by loging in on a web browser with no problem.

 

In fact my last purchase arrived 2 days ago.

 

Can't use a phone app as my Apple ID is associated with Australia

Shoppee in many cases ends up being cheaper than Lazada....and I use both 👍

Makes sense. After all, the only European countries that Shopee operates in are Poland and Spain...
