PayPal Payment to Ukrainian Subcontractor

I lived in Ukraine for a couple of years and have a buddy that just did some work for me.  I tried to pay him using PayPal, but ran into the following message:

"Currently PayPal accounts in Ukraine are only able to send payments. This recipient is not eligible to receive funds."

Does any know of a reputable electronic service that will allow me to pay him?

Thanks for the suggestion.  $22 in fees to send $137.50.  Not exactly a bargain.  Other ideas?

I use ODesk all the time.  Worst case scenario, I could ask Victor to sign up as a provider and pay him via ODesk for a 12% fee.  Thanks for the advice.
@jdana,

I suggest you add that comment about ODesk, then accept your own answer as the correct one:

It will be good for people in the future who are looking for the same solution.

Also, since 12% is a lower fee than PayPal and Western Union, it _is_ the better solution for now.

Alan
