I found this list of nice Fanfest deals, but none of them is available in Europe, i.e. 1 month subscription still costs 15.17€ (21,03$), instead of 12.69$ in the German Amazon store. PLEX is also at the normal price of 17.99€ (24,94$ !).

Not nice to exclude all Non-Americans Ugh

Amazon has it's on forums afaik, where your post would actually belong to.

So you say CCP has no control over Amazon deals? I doubt that, but if so, they could have made the deals on the EVE Online website. The only item thats on sale there is PLEX, but since PLEX is more expensive on the EVE site (19.95€ for 1 PLEX, thats almost 28$ !), the sale just brings the price down to 50 Cent below "normal" Amazon price of 17.99€.

Personally, im not interested in PLEX, but the 15% off subscriptions which Americans get at the moment would be really nice, because i need to extend game time on all my accounts soon.

Exactly.
CCP has no control over amazon deals.
Amazon is it's own company. As most big companies,
they buy stuff in bulk and then do whatever with it.

The rest of your post makes little sense,
considering this context.

As said above, you should instead contact Amazon about this.

my local shop is charging 2Euro for ONE pint liter of milk! CCP have as much say in this as they do in amazon's decisions on pricing.

So Amazon is doing its own thing, ok. I thought these are official Fanfest deals from CCP, thats why i wondered why they are only available for Americans.

I'm glad I was of help...
... and I'm glad you're a reasonable person.

Others would have tried to argue about this crap without end.
