Payments to a Russian resident

[BusiGuru]

I can't find an answer in the help area, so am trying here!

I need to send a small payment to Russia, but PayPal payments to Russia used to be blocked.

Is that still the case, or can I now pay my Russian software developper using PayPal?

Well, your Russian developper may have PayPal acount.

Does she ?

Then you can make a direct funds transfer.

 Hey there guys,

Currently Russia is a send only country.

This means that they can only send payments, they are unable to receive payments.
