The advantages of dealing with China and PayPal:
- China does not recognize sanctions against Belavia. And China is not sanctioned.
- PayPal does a lot of business with China, therefore risk of transaction being blocked based on an alleged fraudulent transfer is minimal.
- Your visa or mastercard will facilitate the monetary transfer to PayPal whereas it might flag a direct purchase from China fraudulent without using PayPal as the intermediary.
