I consider that poor customer service and why I cancelled & wrote this statement. You apparently have a different opinion, that's fine.
If they offer a PayPal option as you suggest all they need is an email address to send the money, not your banking information. And when I'm abroad, I never connect to internet without using a VPN, and since I don't expect any state actors to really care about my amazon purchases or banking habits, and all that is done via https I'm not too concerned after that point. AND, it's not like you have to send them all this while you're in Russia. AND if you paid with a credit card, you can always file a dispute. It's not like you are without options, and they offered you two already.
