That's kind of the whole catch-22 of it all. You pay more for that extra security. The reason that the foreign vendors are so cheap is because of their economies, coupled with the fact that they run an easy operation. They don't have to deal with bitcoins and Tor and proxies and all that. You send them money, they send you your transaction. End of story. I know at least one vendor that you speak of used to take BTC and stopped. Presumably, it was too much of a hassle and it would resulted in a price increase for everyone. And then there's the whole volatility thing.
Personally, I love the idea of paying with BTC, but I also know that it means having to pay more. That being said, I would still be willing to pay with BTC if a vendor was willing to accept them.
