Selling online - without US bank account. Is that possible?

Hi,

 

my situation is the following: I am the beneficial owner of a US registered LLC (US domestic) - but I am a non-US resident/citizen, therefore I am unable to open a US bank account for my business in the US, due to the overexcitement of the banks  with patriot act. (Now I know who is affected most by that act - you bet, not the terrorists, but honest online merchants to be people). My business is registered with IRS, I have tax registration number but I personally don't have SSR. In this scenario I cannot open bank account online. 

Anyway - all banks requre me to travel to the US (which I can't at the moment plus it would be too much extra cost for a startup) in order to open account for my business.

 

My question is:

 

can I use Paypal to accept online payments in this situation? Do I have to be verified in o

 

I don't have a credit card with the same address as my business address. In the verification page this is the other option for verification. 

I have cards with other address - but such option is not given on the page.

 

Any helpful comments? I am stuch with my online business due to this hassle.

 

thank you
