Why am I getting this error?
Summary
When an item is shipped internationally, it needs to meet the payment requirements of all the countries that it ships to. In this example, since the item ships world wide, it needs to meet the criteria for all the countries. In some countries, seller need to offer atleast one safe payment, hence the error message.
