Hace tiempo teniamos con pablo ganas de comprar los servicios del famoso hosting dreamhost, ya que tiene excelentes servicios, inclusive en el plan mas bajo, con unos U$D 10 podes conseguir 150gb de disco y miles de sevicios copados como svn y bases de datos ilimitadas. Pero bueno, no todo es color de rosa, el domingo 26 de Agosto de 2007 nos dispusimos a contratar el servicio, yo queria estrenar mi tarjeta de credito “internacional” y me encontre con la maldita sorpresa que Google Checkout no tiene dentro de los countries disponibles a nuestro querido pais. Por lo cual se me fue a la mierda todo lo que venia planeando hacer cuando tuviera dreamhost. Asi que ni lento ni peresozo me dispuse a escribirles a los sres de dreamhost el problema y salio algo asi:
Hi,
I'm trying to buy your services and google checkout don't have Argentina in the country combo and i can't use my visa or american express, so, how i can do to buy a crazy insane hosting service by 2 years?
thx
my best regards
Hernan.

It appears that your sign-up was randomly selected by our fraud-checker

by this method, then we can ask you to either send a check or money order
to the following address:

(write your account number on your check)
Sorry about the inconvenience, but if you have any other questions,

No man, no te voy a mandar un cheque a estados unidos para pagarte, en que estan pensando? Es la era de las comunicaciones, las transacciones electronicas, siendo un servicio tan “groso” como puede ser que no tengas servicio en todos lados?
Visto y considerando que no iba a tener muchas soluciones por parte de esta gente me dispuse a agarrarmelas con el que realmente tiene el problema, Google. El tipo estaba loco, se iba a pelear con san Google.
La cosa empezo asi:
Hi,
I'm trying to buy a dreamhost service and they have a google checkout
service to manage the payment, so, in the combo is not the country
Argentina, i have an international credit card Visa and American
Express and i'm feeling discriminated if i can't use it. Tell me if in
some time i will give that service. Please see this things, sorry by my
bad english.
thanks in advanced.
Hernan.

Hello Carlos,
Thank you for your interest in Google Checkout.
Google Checkout is currently not available to shoppers with billing
addresses in Argentina.
Please visit this link
to view a list of those countries where Google Checkout is currently
available. Google Checkout may not be available in every country right
away but we’ll certainly try our best! To make sure our buyers from across
the globe have a wonderful experience with Google Checkout, we make every
effort to plan, test, and hone our system to meet the needs of that
country before release. We’re unable to comment on the timing of Google
Checkout availability in Argentina, but we appreciate your interest. We
look forward to offering more options in the near future.
For general program or account questions, please review our Help Center at
