It is the same for manu US eTailers too, Newegg for example - only Paypal with registered address possible. Too funny if registered address is in Germany (my home), but shipping address in the US (our office there). That is, if you already came over the obstacle that they let you only order from US-based IP adresses (i asked them, it's in their T&C.) So much for global trade... for consumers. Its not easy to order something which is only shipped to US continental/available here anyway and bring it to Europe that way.
