Ask YC: getting a US bank account for non-US resident.

Hi!

I'm investigating the possibility of opening a US bank account for non-US resident. Is it possible at all, and if yes, how hard can it be? Basically I need to have it in order to be able to accept PayPal / Google checkout. The only way I see right now is:

1) set up an LLC in Delaware,

2) open a corporate bank account for my LLC.

While the first step is quite feasible, the second one is pretty vague. I couldn't find any good information on what it takes to get a bank account for an LLC, especially if I'm not a US-resident. Does anyone here have experience in it?

Alternatively, if I'm missing something and there's a simpler way to accept PayPal payments, point me to one.

Thanks, Kirill
