Any advice on how to send a deposit to Canada on the downlow? can't put it on my CC. Tried Paypal with a gift card. No go.

First of all, thank you for respecting a woman's time to send her the requested deposit. Not all of us should be punished for another provider not being honest about a deposit. For many providers, your $200 or whatever it's not worth losing a good reputation, a website that cost hundreds, photos that are $$$ to $$$$ and a web presence that can take years to build.  

Anyways.  

Paypal is notoriously anti-SW. Ask if she will accept an Amazon gift card. Anything can be bought on there from groceries to health and beauty aids, etc. You can send an e-gift card to her email with your CC - or if you really need to be discrete - buy a Vanilla Visa gift card with cash and pay for the Amazon e-GC using that. It takes up to 24 hours for the Amazon GC to be received in higher amounts, so plan in advance.  

And thank you again.

Chances are, she has received deposits from other international clients and may have a few options available.
