Have you confirmed you need a U.S. account to withdraw to? PayPal is licensed in 38 countries.

If so, also know that almost every U.S. bank will charge you an account maintenance fee if you fall below a minimum balance indicated in your agreement. The balance to avoid the maintenance fee is different from the "minimum deposit" to open the account. For instance, a Fleet "Basic Checking Account" has no minimum deposit but an unavoidable $4 monthly charge, whereas the higher-tier FleetOne account requires a $1500 balance to avoid a $12 monthly fee.

Does HSBC have a subsidiary in your country? You may be able to open an account with them and accept deposits through HSBC USA, or depending on the country they might have you open two accounts and transfer between them. Though HSBC has relatively few American branches it is actually something like the 10th largest bank in the US, and certainly can work with Paypal.
