    No verification, you can just click Buy Now

    I don’t think that’s possible here, Are you in USA? IDK if it’s EU or because I’m in Denmark.
    We had it some years back, but our available payments systems have increased security since.
    I don’t think it’s a good idea to have purchases drawn from you account with no security. And I don’t think it should be legal.

      Do you have confirmation if you put in your card number? If yes, that’s good, but I also don’t think that’s a EU-wide thing.

        They can store the card info, but we need to confirm purchases with an SMS code.

        I also don’t think that’s a EU-wide thing.

        No apparently it isn’t, I got a response from a German who says they can buy on Amazon without security validation.

      Yes, USA. I was thinking of Google Play purchases when I first left the comment (which definitely has confirmation)

      It’s Denmark. I live in Germany and Amazon doesn’t require authentication when buying something. Maybe I turned it off at some point but I doubt it

        OK then it’s our payment systems that don’t allow it. Probably by law?
        When you cross the Great Belt toll bridge in Denmark, you can pay with the universal “Dankort” without authentication, but they have a special permission/agreement for that.
        I don’t use Amazon, but on Steam we used to be able to make unauthorized payments, but that is not possible anymore last I tried.
        I actually considered trying it to see for sure, but I can’t think of anything worthwhile to buy right now.
