Need a separate account for amazon UK even if you have a USA account?

OK, I did a search here and at amazon.co.uk and I'm stumped. I have a few discs I would like to buy but the Buy Now button doesn't come up, even if it's listed as in stock. And they list me as a member with a valid address and everything.
It's not a big deal to re-register, I guess, but I'm not sure if it's an importing issue or what. I would rather not complain to tech support so if anyone has experience resolving this issue it would make me a happy guy. Thanks!

nope, you just can log in under your Amazon.com account ino and you'll be good to go.

I've ordered from there several times with no issues whatsoever.

Nope just checked and my account worked on the UK site.

Sure don't. I logged into the UK site back in October to pre-order Battle Royale and had no problems!

placing the order anyway...grumble

Thanks very much for replying, people. I switched from Firefox to Safari on Mac and it worked fine. Get with the program, Amazon!

I hate Safari (use Camino myself). What I really hate is those people who make their websites optimised for (or compatible only with) Internet Explorer, which has been dead on the Mac for many moons! I don't see the logic in developing stuff for a browser that isn't cross-platform!
