I sell Tangible Goods (DVDs), and both Verotel and Epoch have told me they don't do billing for Tangible Goods.
I've never had anyone from either get to the point of giving me info if they use a similar method for processing Digital Goods with the handful of lines of HTML "form" code like CCBill uses, to send the customer to the purchase/payment page, and then a similar $_POST back to me with the sales data.
Not all of us are just Affiliates, who only care about Stats and a Check.
From what I have been told, and have learned: CCBill is a credit card processor. The money you get from CCBill is taxable in your home country. If you are not in the US, the tax issues are between you and your home country, not both your home country and the US.
So it's not complicated at all: If you have (e.g.) an HSBC account in US and your home country (or economic zone e.g. EU), ask HSBC International 1) if you can open a US account, and 2) What tax issues they know of.
