Thanks for the reply. A couple years back when I tried to order some stuff on eBay, It was literally impossible to create a PayPal account as a US citizen in Russia. I just tried it again and apparently they fixed some things and now it's possible, although you have to have a bunch of Russian immigration documents which by some miracle I managed to dig up. In any case, when the old transaction times out I'll give it another shot on PayPal. Thanks again for the help.
