The problem with selling internationally

Most well-known gateways only open accounts for businesses in a limited list of countries. Sellers in Morocco, Egypt, Pakistan, Nigeria, Turkey, the Philippines, Bangladesh, much of Latin America and many other places either can't sign up, or are told to open a US company or an offshore merchant account first. That means weeks of paperwork before a single sale.
