I am trying to setup a merchant account for an e-commerce site which is out side the USA, for transactions from around the world.  I cannot find out where to go or how to do this. Help would be appreciated.

The option to 'receive' paypal payments is sadly not available in Swaziland.
You can only 'send' payments for purchases.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.

I see South Africa is allowed, so I will setup an account there, strange that Swaziland is not allowed, as we are the same monetary union as both Lesotho and South Africa.

Its against paypal rules to use another countries paypal account.

Also as paypal is country specific then it would never work for you as you would never be able to verify it / receive funds or withdraw them.
