You might want to blame PayPal for that. The system is such that you can ship overseas, have them "claim" they didn't get it, and PayPal will suck their payment right out of your account. You end up out the item and shipping.
A lot of people have been ripped off by fraudulent sellers and that has been a legitimate problem. But now the scales are tipping towards the fraudulent buyers. That's equally as bad, but until PayPal puts solid protection in place, people in the US are not going to ship outside the country.
That being said, you're pretty well established here. You might want to tap a US Head-Fi friend or two to see if they'll do you a favor, if you know what I mean.
