Providing international support is probably in the 'too hard' basket.
Not too hard! We're working on it right now and hope to have international support soon.

I would love to see someone drag it kicking and screaming outside of the US. :(
Also, it would be nice if there was somewhere I could drop my email address to be notified when Stripe makes it to the UK.

Maybe you could set up a mailing list that notifies international users when your service expands internationally?

Seriously, I really need to know something about this. It's driving me mad to keep seeing promising payment services only to find out they won't deal with me. Yours is the most compelling one I've seen.
The Patriot Act.
As you can see if you want to provide this service to a foreigner then you need to do checks on this person and his bank. This costs such much that most will decide that it is not cost effective to do so.
Please, please, PLEASE make a payments solution like this available outside the US. Europe, for instance, still lives in the dark ages as far as online payments are concerned and has plenty of startups who would jump at the opportunity to use Stripe.
US only. Well, I kind of knew it before even hitting FAQ. A bit of a rant here, but it's crazily difficult to do so many interesting things when you don't live in top-20 country (Lithuania here) Stripe? Nope. BrainTree? Nope. Recurly? Nope. Something else... Likely, Nope. And so, the only way to get paid is to deal with some of the most expensive and oldest gateways and merchant accounts. Oh, and: Hulu? Nope. iTunes?…
Have you looked into incorporating in the UK? It's probably quite a bit of hassle up-front but should solve this type of problem. Unlike in many (most?) European countries, incorporating a limited company in the UK is pretty cheap and straightforward in itself.
