I know how you feel
I too have seen forward look items on ebay that I would personally die for,
only to
find that the seller ships to home country only, I agree it is really
frustrating being on this side of the water.
I have done a few deals on ebay and if the value has not been too great (e.g
under about $50) I have actually sent cash, US$
For me to get a money order at my bank costs me an extra £8 ($12) on top of
the purchase price, sio I went to the bank and had some money transferred to
US$ as a float for when I need it.
I send the money via registered mail so it is signed for at the other end.

Maybe if it's an item that you REALLY want you could email the seller and
ask him if he would ship internationally if you payed cash. I might try this
next time.

I know it can be risky sending cash to somebody you've never met or dealt
with before but I personally have not had a bad experience yet.
