There are still increased costs of doing business. A risk-averse seller will want to vet the local consumer laws to ensure they're not in violation of privacy laws, refund entitlements, quality guarantees, etc etc. If you're doing those things at arms length, it's really difficult to keep those costs down. Your only option is basically an internationally known Tier 1 law firm. They are _not cheap_. Not only will they bill you plenty per hour, they will take a heck of a lot of time making absolutely certain before they provide an opinion as they don't want to expose themselves to liability. Whether or not it justifies every price hike out there is in the wind. There are still non-trivial costs associated with doing business in another market even in the digital age, though.
