If it were a seller of physical goods, then yes. But it's not. You're not ordering the goods to be shipped to you from a warehouse in some foreign land. You're ordering it to be "shipped to you" from your computer in your own country. So even if the retailer is located somewhere else, it's still being "sold" locally.
It's the same reason that I can't access some of the content on the official
Doctor Who and
Torchwood sites in the UK—that content isn't licensed for display in the United States, even though I could legally "import" it if it were out on a DVD for me to buy from Amazon.co.uk.
