Hi, am from kenya and would like to open a service & goods site which will require credit card payment. The problem is that you can't have a paypal a/c if if you are from this part of the world.
You can try 2checkout. That way you will be able to receive credit card payments from anyone easily. It is subject to some fee though.
Google checkout is different. 2checkout can be accessed at http://www.2checkout.com/ Here is some info on 2checkout: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2Checkout.com
I would go for 2checkout as already suggested, it might be your only option to get payment processing for your website.
I have seen that some people sell their US verified paypal accounts. You can use that and use a USA IP to access it. And do some exchange and then load to debit card and withdraw. Sometimes you have to bend the rules. If you are honest at heart.. go forward and do business.
