Hi all,

Newbie here looking for some advice. Have been trolling the forums but its been hard to get the right info.

I am a non-US, non-EU resident living in a high tax jurisdiction. I am starting a legit (Ie. non-porn, etc.) internet based business and am looking for the right structure to do business online.

What I need is:
A foundation
An IBC
A company bank account
A mastercard/visa debit card
Merchant facilties

I guess my questions really revolve around this. In dealing with the paypal's of the world and other such entities, do they steer away form working with companies formed in certain jurisdictions? Or are they more concerned with where the bank account is held?

Banking anonymity is not really a concern (just beneficial ownership is), but I need a bank account that is easy (and especially fast) to open.

Any ideas? Thanks all.

A little more info.

I am looking to start an Ebay based biz using paypal for payment. So should by IBC and bank account be in the same jurisdiction? If so, which ones are ok, or rather which ones do EBay and Paypal steer away from.

first thing you need to check which countries paypal support, as far as i know they do not support offshore countries

[teriolivier68]

When you go to Paypal's sign up page, ALL countries all listed. They give no indication of who they will actually allow and who they won't.

i have no experience with current situation with paypal, but in the past only certain countries can be sued to receive money, you could send money from almost any country
