I can still buy e-books at B&N with my Dutch Visa card here in the Netherlands. My account is registered with an US shipping and billing address and I am using alwaysVPN.
Last year I made the mistake of letting a screen protector for my NC ship to my Dutch address. After that I could not use my credit card anymore to buy e-books. It seems because I shipped something to the Netherlands, the B&N system flagged my credit card as not being a real US credit card.
I assume that you had to contact B&N to reset the locked account? It would not surprise me if because of that your credit card was flagged as not being really US.
I solved my problem by using another credit card.
