I was able to pay by PayPal.... The buying process almost stopped me to but I asked Georgiy if he would take PayPlay and he said yes..... My Russian Malachite is now in NYC........ it is almost here!!
He must be switching to PayPal, as that was the way he asked me to pay when mine became ready for shipment. I have my tracking # and it is making its way here as of 5/17. I did notice that the tracking # does show on usps.com but with no info. I found a Russian postal tracking website and it shows the progress of the box as it makes its way through Russia, anyway. Here's that link in case anyone orders one: https://www.aftership.com/couriers/russian-post
