I also live in Germany, but for me it's not a turn-off. One very often has to convert currencies (and be it only dollar). Usually one can ship it to Germany, but it might be expensive, so I only do it for stuff that I really want. The much worse problem concerning shipping is whether the distributor manages the product to get through the import rules (which can be become really ugly if one has to declare that the product conforms to the rules - even customers of much larger companies such as Pebble got into large problems doing this). Thus I strongly prefer to buy from established vendors if I have to ship the product from non-EU countries to Germany.
