Purchase on Macys.com with shipment to a US Address fails with Canadian-based paypal account

The intent is to buy and ship to a U.S. address. Macys.com accept only a credit card with a U.S. billing address which I don't have. When I realized that they now accept paypal payment, I was delighted. I was disappointed when I hit this problem: 

Macy's online payment rejected my paypal payment saying mine is not U.S. registered. Is there any way to get around this? As long as I can pay them in full, why Macy or any merchant would care where the paypal account originates.

You can't add an international address to a country specific paypal account.

For seller protection the seller has to send to the paypal registered address of the buyer.
