    Can't you buy it as a gift? Some online stores give you an option to buy a product as a gift and get it shipped to some other address..

    Do you have to make the payment through PayPal? Can you use another payment method, such as a credit card?

    Well mate, I have no idea which store works in Uruguay and accepts paypal as a payment option..
    I guess you gotta find it locally.. There must be some of local tech forums there.

    Why would your account get limited for withdrawing the money? I'd been withdrawing thousands of dollars every month for last 15 months, I never had any problem..

    Do you have a verified bank account linked with your paypal?

    Try to find any sellers in ebay near your location, where you can use any shipping address.
