I will try to signup with a giftcard/Walmart onetime Visa card, from my US IP address, via a US VPS and whatever else is required. I am ready to pay the fee for the service, but I certainly have no interest in CCBill or any other processor doing the conversion for me, at those horrendous rates. I will do anything in my power to get away from any such sort of regional pricing.

This is my feeling too. I remember about seven years ago I traveled to Europe and saw one of my sites. I had maybe ten at that time, I was really a total (almost) noob. LOL When I saw the converted price I freaked and called CCBill. I'm embarrassed now how irate I was, being so new to any ecommerce, but remember clearly one thing they said to me: "Why would you want to turn off something that is making you more money?"
Now this was in 2011 or whenever. TODAY I am wondering if it's turning off customers like you described about yourself. Being a semi-veteran nowadays I consider the customr experience first so I agree 100% with you.
However, the real 'proof' is in the pudding (or Euros or dollars). If I make significantly less money and see less joins then the regional pricing is going back on. But my initial feeling is exactly your thoughts Adraco.
