I need to pay for a product in Russia (all legal, just hard to get here in West) but the seller only accepts payments via card or Russian payment providers like robokassa/yandexpay/qiwi (which reject all western cards).
Tried to find a way around but it seems all normal services have banned transfers to Russia.

Most Russian banks are no longer part of SEPA hence the payment cannot get thru.

But I am not sure why you don't pay with bitcoin.

Or, another thing that comes into my mind would be bestchange, which is an aggregator of various exchanges that buy/sell bitcoin, most of those being Russian (I think) and will probably offer also qiwi, yandex and so on.

LE: A quick check there has shown that even PayPal USD to Qiwi RUR is possible. However, I don't vouch for those platform, be careful and don't work with big amounts until you're sure they're indeed reliable.

Thanks, found a working way using one of the platforms from bestchange.
