Re: Countries with embargoes
From what I'm reading now, it looks like it's illegal from me to send Cuban coins (communist era) to the US, regardless of how they pay.

Wow, that's news (crazy news IMHO) to me. I thought it was only the cigars that were illegal. Smart of you to check this out beforehand. I really do learn something new every day...

Wow, that truly sucks. I can understand not wanting to deal with weapons related stuff, but stamps and ciggy cards? Not dangerous that I know of, though I suppose you could always stamp someone's mouth shut, LOL. :)
Will have to check and see who/where/what's on the list myself, don't want to inadvertently make a boo boo...

Re: Countries with embargoes
I think that it's more than getting around PayPal. I think that it's illegal to import coins and stamps into the US after the communists took over. If they catch it at customs, I think there would be a problem.
