YUP! You sure can..

"If you already have a PayPal account, you can use that as your payment method when you enter your credit card information".......I got that from the help section (I typed payment methods as the search query).

I'd think you would need a US billing address. Thats the point of having a seperate store.

I got a support email back I need a valid credit card on the paypal account. Guess I will have to get one of those, which defeats the purpose of me using paypal

You cant buy stuff from the US store if you are located in Canada (unless you have a US billing address)

It sucks

Wait, maybe this is a dumb question... but why not just use the Canadian store? Is the store content different?

Yeah it all comes down to who owns the rights.

If you notice on a majority of your CD's, it says EMI Canada, Universal Canada, as they are subsidiaries, but still licensed to sell these discs in Canada.

Unfortunately, TV doesn't work quite the same way.

Canadians can't access the ITunes music store set up for Spanish/Latino/Salsa music for instance. The greater selection in those genres is inaccessable to Canadians.
