I lost one of my eartips for my in-ear headphones. Apple won't help me and i don't know where else to go

I just lost one of my eartips for my in earheadphones. Apple doesnt sell them on their site and also no other store in my country sells them. I called to the supportnumber but they told me that i 'll cost me 25 euros. 25 euros for a set of three rubber eartips from which i only need one?! (size s). Also i need to pay with a credit card, which i haven't got. So basically there is no way for me to get the replacement tips. Is there anything else i can do? Any number i can cal to complain about it? Because i feel like i''m gettng screwed. And no i dont want ear tips from a different brand. Thanks.

I assume you would want to buy some more earbuds, i couldnt find an amazon for netherlands but i think you can use the uk one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/JOOX-Quality-Replacement-Headphones-Earphones/dp/B005IQG OEC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1321184969&sr=8-2

I don't know about in Europe but Amazon gift cards may be purchased with cash in lots of store in the USA. Perhaps you can check around?

Best of luck.

There does not seem to be much on your web site, and no ear buds at all.

I wandered streets of Sydney including Apple store to be told these are not available however, I have since successfully purchased from

http://www.dealsishop.com

who provide the silcone plugs in all 3 sizes promptly and quite affordably. They seem to stay on better than the original Apple [product that comes with the headsets. Delivery was quick and an easy way to shop, recommneded fully, now placing another order for friends and family!
