To answer that question you have to understand how data transmissions work on the web.
If everything is hosted outside US, including billing, there are no ways that you can say the seller was operating on US market unless he started the data transmission (offering by email or something else).
Im really sure that if a foreign webmaster got arrested on US soil, under those circumstances, the US government would have some serious diplomatic explanations to deal with.
