How can my friend send $3K to me without using Paypal?
Have his bank put the money on a gift card or gift cards and have somebody send them to you in the mail. In fact, if you are going to spend the money online all you need is the numbers and codes from the card to spend the money.  If you have more time have the bank send you a cashiers check or money order.
