Good day to all.
I can’t buy at the thinkgeek.com store: they don’t ship to Russia, if I specify the address of my hotel in the USA, they don’t want to accept payment by Russian credit card (for some reason, when specifying the billing address, they cannot select the Russian Federation). They wrote to me in the mail that they do not accept payments from Russians.
There was hope for payment via Paypal, but they also cannot interfere with countries in billing and shipping addresses. Those. if you have a Russian account, then you cannot specify a delivery address in the United States (and for some reason, the delivery address when checking out from the store does not override the Paypal address). If you create an American PP account and link cards of Russian banks to it, then you cannot specify a billing address outside the United States.
So, it turns out that you need to get a credit card with an address in the USA? ..

Hmmm… I sent a package from thinkgeek to a US address (myus.com) in February.
The country of the credit card indicated Ukraine. This is of course not the safest way.

Here they write that you can transfer money between Russian and American Paypal:

I wonder what the commission is? Has anyone used it. Looks like a good fit

As for the credit card, QIWI Visa Virtual always helped me out.
With it, the Russian address on many bourgeois sites rolled

Calm bought through PayPal and an intermediary with a US address.
