Got your point, but web app is a different story. I want to simply put the paid app on the app store.
The thing is, it is not only for the submission, but one needs to have, for instance, address, bank account... So you would have to ask your friend quite often, which is not comfortable and scalable.
EDIT: @ambiate - Sorry, didn't get your question, could you please clarify.
Or have a friend in say the UK submit it for you
