The banks in the US have different "specials" all the time, but these specials change often so the only way to know is to visit the banks websites for the majors such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citibank.
I would avoid WAMU and Wachovia now because of the issues in the US financial world -- these two banks may go under or be acquired. You would not lose any money as you are insured but it might be a pain the arse.
Some will consider it, however you must go to the US in person to open an account -- 99.9% of the time they require a social security number or SSN which is only issued to US residents and legal aliens.

IF you can travel to the US and open an account it is free. Banks do not charge fees to open an account, you just have to put in the initial deposit. BUT be advised it is extremely difficult to find a bank that will accept someone without a SSN or tax ID number. But again, it has to be done IN PERSON in the US.
That is why we recommend our UK company and German bank account option for PayPal as it can be opened by almost anyone and no visit to German or the UK is needed. We also have the option of a UK corp and UK bank account for PayPal.
Do Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citibank accept non-us account?
On their web sites they all state you must have a social security number, so it would be almost impossible to open a personal account, Your only real chance is to try and open a corporate account with a US LLC with EIN, but again you have to visit the US in person.
We offer US LLC's with EIN's which is like a Social Security Number for businesses.
