Credit card from store to store?

Hello,


I was using the Croatian App store for over 5 years. Now i want to chande it to the German (To shop music, movies...).

I changed the coutry and inserted the Master Card details but it wont accept it ? It says that this payment method is not acceoted in this store!?

I was using this card in the Croatian store without problems.. Now i used aslo the Visa Electro, still nothing..


Thank you for the help

You must use the iTunes and Mac App Stores in the country where you legally reside. You must use a bank card from that same country with a verifiable billing address in that country. Switching your account to another country to purchase in that country's store because you reside there for a short period of time is not a good idea, even with an iTunes gift card for that country. You will run into all sorts of back-end hassles with the store for one country not recognizing your purchase in the other country's store when you need to update an app or game.


You will likely return here cursing Apple and crying about the mess that you will have made for yourself.
