Having done about every option myself, you can get around the restrictions quite simply like this:
At Fictionwise: Change your address at fictionwise to be in the US. Just a country change should do.
Paypal: If you already have a US delivery address in your account, just select that on checkout. If you don't you can't use your usual paypal account to pay.
Credit Card: I'm told that if you enter all your credit card detail correctly, EXCEPT for entering USA as the country of the CC address, it should work fine. Apparently the country doesn't get passed to the CC company for verification.

Wading through this thread it appears my main option is to change my billing country in Fictionwise to US then use micropay, is that correct? Unclear whether changing my address in Fictionwise then allows Paypal payment?
This seems to be a case of ebook suicide for the non-US/Canadian market just when interest is increasing.
