You however have to closely watch PayPal. Try to pay to a product or service from former USSR countries; then weeks later suddenly get your account suspended. Or not.

Do you like taking chances like that? Cash saves you here.



Would you send cash in the mail to those countries?

Edit: You likely meant to pay for things while you're visiting there? Yeah, I would probably use cash for that too.


We live in a world where people from all over the world live together. I work with people who are from France, Germany, Spain,but also from Russia, South Korea, China, Israel, South Africa. We might go for a dinner one night, then I have to send them some money - I'm genuinely worried paypal might block my account for sending them money "as a precaution". Seriously, cash is million times better.
