ibooks - How do you change the country of purchase?
When trying to buy an ibook, it reverts to Australia as the country to purchase (incl. currency) and deliver to. How do I change this to the UK?

Hi suzsjd,
I understand you are trying to purchase an item from the iBooks Store, but are seeing information for Australia instead of the UK. Were you recently in Australia, or have you moved to the UK? The billing details are tied to the information you provided for your Apple ID. Take a look at the resources below to manage or change your iTunes Store account. There is a link to the iTunes Store Support team if additional support is needed.
Change your iTunes Store country or region
When you make a purchase in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store, the country in your iTunes Store account information must match the country listed on your Apple ID account page.
An Apple ID is the personal account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, iTunes Store, iCloud, iMessage, the Apple Online Store, FaceTime, and more. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as all the contact, payment, and security details that you’ll use across Apple services.
Change or remove your Apple ID payment information

If you want to update any other account information, sign in to your Apple ID account page.

- If you change your payment method, make sure your account information matches the credit card information on file with your financial institution.
- If your previous payment wasn't accepted, you might need to change your payment information.
