Too much faith in geolocation

I was going to buy a game and got the dreaded message:

"Sorry, we can't accept your purchase at this time due to the updated 2015 VAT regulations. Your billing address does not match your purchase location (BG)."

I had to search what BG stands for because I had no idea. Bulgaria? Seriously? I'm Spanish browsing the site from Canary Island and my ISP locate me in Madrid. I would have accepted somewhere closer like Casablanca or Marrakesh, even if that's not how the Internet works. But whatever geolocation you are using exceeded all my expectations on how bad it is. And I saw that people have been reporting this problem for over a year now. 

Truly disappointing.
