I am selling online, and I am not even American, and I never been in America before!
Apply for Employr identification no., and then apply for PayPal Payments pro. It will cost you around $30/mo.
Also you can have it hosted on Yahoo! stores/ small business - which is invented by PG - former known as viaweb :D
I think this is a good, fast and reliable solution for you.
- dchest 18y agoDid you get a bank account in the US? If so, how?
- thepanister 18y agoGood question! I asked my best friend - which is American - to do it using her personal info, so she created a bank account specially for it, and she applied for EIN, for the taxes. I am from Egypt, and Paypal is not even enabled for Egyptians, so it could be impossible for me to do it, without the help of "someone American".
- dchest 18y agoThanks for info! For the same reason (PayPal for businesses is not available in Russia), I have a reseller contract with a company that accepts payments, including PayPal.
- thepanister 18y agoI think that Godaddy offers a service for international merchants who want to sell online. I am not sure if their service is reliable or not, but it's expensive anyway. If you know someone American who trust you so much and vice versa, then you can do the same I did. Believe me, I never met that friend in real life, because I never been in America!
- patio11 18y agoThis question comes up so frequently on another forum I made a blog post about it years ago. To the best of my knowledge it still works. http://www.kalzumeus.com/2007/08/15/banking-for-the-uisv/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/2007/08/15/banking-for-the-uisv/
