By passing Steam

I live in the States.  I have a friend in Germany.  Steam no longer will accept me buying games or add ons from their site to send anything from my Steam account other than a (Steam Gift Card) to his.  Not so long I could do this, but not now.  If I wanted to purchase Cartel Points and send this to him I could with no problems.  Now Steam says it's a Regional thing.  From what I have found, it's that Paypal and Visa and Mastercard are blocking these payments.  Can I buy Cartel points on this site and still be able to send them to his SWTOR?
