Depending on the country and the intelligence of the local banks, it might a real to get a merchant account there. For instance, in Guatemala, you have to deal with the vile Credomatic people, who are utterly clueless, require a $5000 deposit, and charge around 8%. Oh, and they provide no API (they send you a compiled command line program), zero fraud control, and so on. But they're the only option for Guatemala companies. I'm guessing there are some countries that are even worse (but hopefully most are better!).

Why don't you stop being a lemonade stand operation and get a real merchant account? Why would a customer trust you when you only accept paypal payments? Its instant sign of "hello, I am very small and I can't even afford to bother setting up a merchant account". -alex _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list Asterisk-Biz@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list Asterisk-Biz@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
