Everyone who wears bras goes through this and it's a constant struggle. The dirty secret is that manufacturers deliberately avoid standard sizing in an effort to keep buyers from going to their competitor's products. This is true throughout the women's clothing industry, really.
I did all the measuring and such that you did and bought my first bra online and it didn't come close to fitting. My advice is to just buy a lower priced bra that might fit and try it. Be prepared to just use it as a sizing aide, though. It probably won't fit, but you can tell whether you need something larger or smaller. Your next one might be a good fit. In other words, the only way you're going to get a good fitting bra by mail is by trial and error. A better method is to go into a store where they'll let you try on a couple, but g-male beginners tend be a bit bashful about doing that.
