Has anyone outside the US problems buying Nook books?

I have always been able to buy Nook books using my Dutch Mastercard credit card, an US address and an US VPN. Since about 2 weeks this is not working anymore. I get a message that my order could not be processed because something is wrong with my account.
Looks like B&N detects that I am not in the US.

I first thought the problem was the credit card, either B&N or Mastercard no long accepting a Dutch card with an US address. So I re-activated my USunlocked card. Which is a Visa card with a real US billing address. This made no difference.
Tried another VPN. No difference.

I finally created a new B&N account for testing (using another e-mail address).
I registered this account with the USunlocked card. The same problem. Order cannot be processed.

Does anyone have the same problem?
Are other people outside the US still able to buy ebooks?
Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong?
