Hi Juanjo, >From the Amazon Affiliates program, we get payments from the United States, Great Britain, and Germany. We have gotten notices for gift certificates for the Japan site, but as the GNOME Foundation does not have any need to purchase any items in Japan, these certificates do not get used. I vaguely remember being signed up for Amazon France, but unless the payment is grouped with the German or UK payment, I am not sure where it goes.
Hopefully this info is useful; let me know if you need me to dig any deeper into any of these accounts.
