I've a small project that needs to charge $0.99, and PayPal doesn't cut it because they only open micropayments merchant account for people in United States. Does anyone know a micropayment solutions for people outside United States?

I dont't know if its possible with them, but did you try Moneybookers? Many poker rooms use them for receiving and paying payments to their players. http://www.moneybookers.com/app/business.pl http://www.moneybookers.com/app/business.pl

Check out http://www.youtipit.org http://www.youtipit.org (maybe even send them an email) - would you consider bitcoin? Could be good marketing angle as well, and if your micropayment system or framework is good enough, spin it off with your site being a test case.

  I love to use bitcoin but it's too niche for my target audience.

    Well you could take larger payments and give the change in bitcoin at a rate slightly higher than market.

You also can check out my company, https://www.minno.co/ https://www.minno.co/. We only support prices denominated in USD right now, but we accept payments from many different countries, and we can transfer your earnings to you via a standard PayPal transfer.

Does Minno work for you? Flattr has Donate now ... though they're paying a lot more than $0.99 by the time all is said and done.
