I also don't know anybody, besides the fact that my understatement of American and German tax-system is not very profound (to my defense: I don't think it's even possible to understand it). I found bridgestarter.com but I'm not sure if I can trust them. That's why I'd like to know how the whole process worked for you? What did you do?

There are two ways to get an Amazon Payments account. One way requires a US issued credit card and you need to be a US resident to get one. Another way is to use a US bank account associated with a US business, this is what I have done. You do not need to be a US resident to own and operate a US based business. Another possibility is to have a friend or project partner in the US who collects the funds from the Kickstarter project. I looked into having a friend collect the funds but it is complicated regarding tax. So I decided to create a company. You are correct that Kickstarter requires Amazon Payments.

First i understand that "Non-US people cant have verified amazon payment account",then "Non-US people cant have validated payment method on kickstarter" and result is " Non-US people cant use kickstarter to fund their projects " I wish that iam wrong" am i ? Also i check amazon site for informations but i couldnt find anything that says : We accept just US citizens. By the Turk that iam , i cant fund my project on kickstarter. Its realy big disappointment. This is totally disappointment for me :( Also iam little confused about that.
