Business decision. How fast do you want your money? If you're dealing with Visa/MC/AMEX/Disc and selling to US citizens from foreign shores, your cash moves about 2-3 days slower.

Of course its done all the time, but in general, its easier to process credit cards with a processor and banking presence on the shore you're acquiring credit from. Hope that clarifies a little by what I meant.
