I have to use VPN, to simulate a US IP address.
Then I can buy on the B&N website, even though I'm using a German credit card. I've linked it to a US billing address though. IN my case, the US subsidiary of my employer.
I haven't found a way to use VPN on the Nook itself, so I'm buying via the B&N website.
Hello:

I'm in a similar situation than you. Bought my Nook Color in the US but live in Mexico. Found out that I could buy books through the B&N website using a VPN software but just recently I can't do it.

IS anybody else (international Customers) having this trouble? Did Barnes & Noble made a change to their website to block these buys?
I'm in a Mac using Hotspot shield ( latest version) and my brother is using his PC and no go in either one.

Any suggestion/alternatives or are we screwed? Hope this is not the case. Been enjoying ebooks and I hope I don't have to limit myself to free ebooks.
