Oh come on, Alex. There are far more smart people with no money
than with money. Setting up a merchant account is relatively 
complicated and expensive. For someone on a very tight budget
it is probably best left until after they have some revenue and
can afford it.

What you're really saying is, "Why would anybody trust a poor person?
you'd be better off getting a job at McDonalds than trying to play
with us rich kids." Please. This kind of attitude is why your 
country has 3rd world levels of poverty right outside of the gated
communities that are busy irrigating the desert so they can have
nice green genetically modified lawns.
