I know theres loads of american online stores to be had, just look at mtgnews, but I was wondering if any of you know of any european online stores, especially non english language ones that are reliable and worth recommending?

Especially if they will mail to the US. I've been trying to find some as well and have as yet been unable to do so.

There are 2 Dutch sites, www.Nedermagic.nl and gfmailorder.nl, which both ship to the US on request (I believe).. |

The real question is: why would you ever want to use a european store if you are from the US? The dollar-euro trade-off would make everything insanely expensive (apart from the fact that everything is already more expensive (cardwise, anyway) in Europe than in the US. www.gameforce.nl is very reliable. |

It is very difficult to come by German, French, or Spanish cards in the US. Chinese cards can be easily found on Ebay, but I have been looking for a French Mindslaver for some time with no luck. What language does www.gameforce.nl sell their cards in? |

Information like that would rule so hard you don't even know it. I'm so in the market for French Force of Wills, so I have to chime in with the "where" on this one.
One thing to do that I've found, if you have the time and patience, is to search eBay's different Regions. There's an eBay France, an eBay Japan, an eBay Germany, and you get the friggin' idea. However, you have to be able to type in stuff like Underground Sea in French to get any reliable results on the French site, and even then your search can yield only English Revised Underground Seas.

http://www.thehardlessons.com/I will break into your house while you aren't home and disguise myself as a chair. Then I will leave before you get home, but there will be a place at your table where I was a chair and you will wonder why there isn't a chair there. Then later I will leave the chair disguise on your doorstep and you will realize what has happened and you will be afraid all the time. Helter Skelter mother fuckers!

English only. They do have some foreign stuff, ofcourse, but not a big enough stock that it is worth it to put online. They mainly just have it in a special binder for store-regulars who like that stuff to browse through. To be honest, I'm not sure if there are any dedicated sites for foreign stuff, but I remember an italian website I was once linked too that had an impressive collection of italian stuff. However, your best bet would still be to use ebay like Revvik suggested, or find international traders/dealers on MOTL. |

If you want to purchase Spanish cards the best site to do so is www.mtgmetropolis.com. They also ship some cards in other languages if they don't have Spanish or English ones. Don't know if they ship to the US, but I think they do. They also accept PayPal. The bad is that it's pretty expensive  (who pays 25 euros for a pithing needle?) |

http://www.magic-shop-online.de is the German "Bazaar of Wonders"-Online-Shop (also accessible via magiccards.info for some cards). The problem is: The site is in German only, but they note that they do ship abroad. Also, they don't sell Foils, but they are among the cheaper German online stores for English and German cards. www.trollandtoad.com is another well-renowned European shop (with an English website), but I don't know which languages they sell (could just be english).

Also learn the foriegn spelling and type it in on your home ebay site. You will find the odd card in fbb that definatley ships to you. Troll and Toad seems to be English only and lists in $. I thought it was American for this reason! |
