I think in order to do that, they'd have to snail-mail a physical invoice to whomever lives there, and I don't really see B&N spending the postage to do so unless all the charges have been bouncing.
Perhaps for your peace of mind, you might want to look into setting up an account with one of those US-based package receiving/overseas re-shipping services.
I think a number of them will let you simply register for free (various providers have been mentioned upthread), and you'll also get the advantage of being able to possibly save postage on/obtain physical items that vendors don't normally sell to your region.
And that way if something goes wrong, you know whom to sue.
A possible way to minimize your CC fraud risk might be to reserve one credit card solely for "US" stuff (assuming you have more than one and the spare is a no-annual fee CC with low credit limit, or better yet, one of those prepaid ones in a relatively small denomination).
Then if the occasion ever arises that you do have to shut that down, at least your normal daily usage on your regular CC won't be affected.
