I have a EUR switch and i wanted to buy a $19,99 game on the US eShop. I changed the Nintendo account region to US and bought the game with a $20 eShop card. Now i have $0.01 balance and when i try to return my account to EU, it says i can't until i spend the actual balance.

What can i do now?
Thank you.

Buy something in the store and add the remaining balance by PayPal or credit card. This way for a 4.99 game you only have to add 4.98 USD and you'll have zero balance afterwards. There's no other way.

ho well... i guess you now need to buy another thing.. do you have a CC or a way to dont' use fixed ammounts?
i understand that 1 cent bullshit... i have the same issue but in my blizzard account, wich they sold lootboxes for 1 cent, that would be the real value of lootboxes in videogames

You should just make a different account for each region. You can still play games bought on other accounts using your main, so it doesn't really matter. I have one for UK, US, and JP without issue. Changing on the fly is just asking for something to go wrong.

I asked Nintendo of America and they removed the $0.01 (but they said me they wont do that next time). Now i have the game in my EU account.
Thank you for answering.
