Murders and Executions
I have a site which draws almost all it's traffic from Brazil but am having trouble monetizing it. I had an advertiser I was sending the traffic to but they've gotten rid of their Portuguese landing page. I've tried sending to English and Spanish landing pages with no luck, so I was considering having an eBook written (in Portuguese) that I would try and sell directly.

My question is, what kind of payment processors would be open to someone living in the U.S. that are widely used by Brazilians? Is PayPal an option here? They seem to be available, but how many people there are familiar with and trust their system? If not PayPal, is there a similar system that would be open to non-Brazilians?

Do you speak Portuguese or know someone who does? I think you'd get much better information if you posted this on a Portuguese forum for Brazilian ecommerce stuff. If you don't speak it yourself find someone on fiverr or something and get them to find a site and post there for you.

Getting a list of the pro's/con's from people who actually deal with Brazilian ecommerce will be much better than whatever "my cousin lives in South America and this is what he told me" bullshit you're gonna find here.

I think PayPal should work fine. I sold some things on ebay to a guy in Brazil and he paid via Paypal and had a confirmed address and all.
