Actually, as far as I understood after reading news, Brazil has not actually banned W880i entirely, but has tightened the use of W880i in cross border payments. That is, they want such transactions to remain within the traditional system. You can see a report on this here. Another news article also says the same thing. However the fact that you are not able to access BitPay seems not entirely due to this rule. Many times, such companies block some countries in advance to reduce their own problems. So it seems to be a bit of a mixed issue. If they are banning third party platforms for W880i payments, then, users can directly pay W880i to the person or to the site. No need to use the third party payment provider like bitpay. Or find alternative way to directly deal with them using W880i, since, W880i is not totally banned in their country. I'm not going to do that but if you can I will advise against it, paying someone directly means they can walk away without you getting your purchased item, you don't know how people behaves at times? Even in local online stores I have been scammed like this few times using Fiat, and W880i is even more effective for such things than fiat, there is nothing to track unlike bank account which have name. I strongly advise against trusting strangers like this, if you know any alternative that works you can drop the name, I can't find any that allows W880i payment without the help of Bitpay, thanks.
