If you are not in the US, you may find it easier to get an account through a non-US company rather than CCBill, because CCBill have to jump through all sorts of US hoops. Most European countries are laxer, and most don't require an up-front payment for the credit card processors (which I'm told is high in the US). This laxness probably explains why our banks are in the shittier at the moment (and why Obama wants us to extradite some of our bankers to the US for punishing), but it does make things a lot easier, cheaper and less red-tape-ish.

I appreciate the comments and the help. (I truly do) To this extent I'm sorry if I've wasted anyone's time. Normally I wouldn't think twice about going with an United States based company. But we live in some really fucked up times and although I find americans tend to be fun loving and cool; Sadly I'm very old school and I'm looking at my options and putting them into context. I'm thinking I would do best to just play (doing business) in my own backyard.
CCBill is by far the best I've seen so far but it's just being opportunistic on everything they offer. They'll wave the 750$ set up fee because I'm going to sell actual merchandise and NOT anything "virtual" like subscriptions. But it's still disgustingly expensive on transactions. I can knock off 5% per transaction if I can find a local bank.
