Except that as a english speaking non american, this happens literally all the time with ecommerce?

It's not until I get to checkout I realise they do not ship to my country or want to deal with me.

International shipping is an entirely different subject. You can assume that .com is American unless otherwise indicated, and that you'll need to check shipping policies. Just like as an American, when I go to a .co.uk ecommerce site, I have to check whether they ship to the US.

> You can assume that .com is American unless otherwise

Why?

.com means .company.

USAmerican have .us, i don't need a reason why you would need to claim that .com is USAmerican, unless you live in a very small bubble
