Ask HN: Presale Tool?

Love "The Mom Book" and the whole Lean Startup approach. However, there is one bureaucratic problem. It's not easy to do presale. Not sure how it works in US, but in Ukraine, where my bank is, it freaking hard to accept payments online. I have to go through a whole bunch of verifications processes to start accepting payments on my website or app. And the verification is done by internet acquiring service provider as well as Master Card. First one is not interested in startups with next to none revenue, the latter one is not interested in anything that reviewer doesn't understand. For instance, the guy who reviewed my last project was unable to comprehend what is "Browser extension". I don't think How can I do presale? At this point I don't care about service fees much. I just want to validate my idea by accepting prepayments from people who tell me that they want to buy my product. I have 2 means of accepting legal payments from abroad companies: Payoneer and SWIFT transfer. Paypal is illegal for some f*king reason.
