I think there could be another category of shoppers out there every online store I checked out seem to have missed...

International shoppers!

This is the problem: Hardly any online store seems to accept my (Dutch) MasterCard or Visa and some of the shipping rates are completely insane!

The thing to do is (of course) have a system to accept the foreign cards (so you'll have to process them manually and not by some online source, because they require an US address(!)) and if you ship the stuff, package it like it is a (tracked) box from a friend and make sure the declared values are way low, so no additional taxes have to be paid!!

So, the only thing you have to invest is some time and care...

I'll expect a cut after your first cool million!

Yeah and once you pay off the franchise fees, you might have enough left for some donut mix!
