The problem is that the taxes are too high. I mean, most of times, you will pay
US$ 20 just to send US$ 10 to someone from Brazil to Netherlands. And i didn't
even mentioned the time it will take for the software to travel from Netherlands
to Brazil by ship (2 or 3 months). Using credit cards would be easier and
cheaper. if he send it to me by e-mail, i could buy and receive it in no more than
2 days! (time needed to check the number of the card before sending the
software).

Well, it doesn't seem to be that difficult, i believe, because many people are
already selling softwares by credit cards in the net. See Marat Fayzullin. He
sells all his emulators with credit cards. There are many others like him on the
net. Check it out.
