Apparently Japanese companies ignore overseas sales so even if you buy the BDs they won't be added to the total numbers.

The money still go towards supporting the company, but you're right that Oricon doesn't count oversea sales in total sales. But you should still buy the Japanese DVD/BDs (or related merchandise) if you want to directly support an anime.

Read 3.1 (and the rest of it honestly) and it'll explain better than I can: http://www.someanithing.com/sales-faqguide

If I bought Japanese BDs of shows I liked I would not be able to afford anything else, hobby wise. The prices are nuts.

(I do buy merchandise though)

Yeah, the prices are steep but the industry's dependent on them since the hobby's relatively niche. Merchandise works as long as it's first hand and official, though.

I try to go for shows that aren't doing all that well, but I enjoyed.

Yeah, I'm a big figure collector especially. I occasionally buy doujinshi or fanart prints, but 95% of merchandise I have is official.

Re: BD- Not to mention if it doesn't have English subs, it's useless to me. There's a couple of shows that weren't released over here that I'd absolutely be willing to buy Japanese BDs for, but with no English sub options, it's basically me throwing money down a hole.
