It is not legal to receive money into Brazil into an account here, whether it be the sellers account or your own account, without it being registered at the Central Bank of Brasil. It is an offence that could put you in jail, and also the recipient. The Federal Police here investigate on behalf of the Receita Federal such cases. If you are being asked to send money in this fashion, it will end up black money and could be consficated. Also I would be very suspicious of any developer asking for that. Why would you want to do it? A sure fire way to get cheated! Using Casas de Cambio it may still be possible, but I think they have tightened up on them now.
