Online shopping at Amazon UK became even more popular in Ireland during the coronavirus pandemic as more people moved away from buying in-store and used online shopping instead.
It now looks like Ireland will finally get its own Amazon.ie website sometime in 2025 . It is expected that any current login you have for Amazon UK will continue to work on any new Amazon.ie website.

Amazon Currency Conversion
Tip – Don’t let Amazon UK convert the Sterling price to Euros if you are in Ireland.
Amazon’s currency converter will always work out more expensive than paying in Sterling with your Irish bank card. Always pay in GBP.

Amazon in Ireland
Amazon started as just an online bookshop in the USA – but has expanded into a “one-stop” worldwide online shop for almost everything – from books to budgie food, CDs to Cameras, Ipods to Ink, Toys to Televisions. Their Echo devices with their “Alexa” assistant are very popular .
Amazon has a fairly large physical presence in Ireland with bases in Dublin where they have an IT centre and in Cork – where they have a call centre. Amazon provides jobs for hundreds of people in Ireland – so when you buy from Amazon – at least some of the money is staying in the Irish economy. They also pay VAT to Ireland on all Irish sales.
Will There Be an Amazon.ie Website?
Amazon recently opened a new massive warehouse at Mountpark Logistics, Baldonnell Business Park, Dublin . This is a fulfilment centre that stores millions of items for delivery in Ireland and Northern Ireland and the rest of Europe. So most orders will no longer have to be sent directly to Irish customers from the UK and this means they can avoid possible customs delays.
It was announced on May 9th 2024 that Amazon plans to set up a separate Amazon website for Ireland in 2025 . Amazon.ie
Money-Saving Tip
If you shop a lot online at Amazon and other UK online shops – it might also be worth your while to sign up for an account at the online bank N26
Their debit cards have no fees for spending in foreign currencies.
Revolut also has low or zero fees for foreign spending.
Some Irish banks charge as much as 2% on card purchases made outside the Eurozone. If you were to spend the equivalent of €2000 on UK shopping sites in a year – that would cost you an extra €40 in bank charges but nothing with N26!
