There are proxy companies that handle this sort of thing. The seller ships the item to their warehouse in-country, and then the proxy company ships it on to you in the USA. Some proxy companies also handle the payment process, while others will expect you to arrange that yourself between you and the seller. Inevitably some sellers will not be interested, but most who are willing to ship in-country will probably agree.
