I purchased the board game "Cuba" from someone on gumtree (we're both Australian) and paid them with Paypal. For the transaction note I wrote "Cuba" and my (Australian) address.
This is what I received from Paypal:

They obviously have a block on the word "Cuba" and there was some back and forth to let the transaction through.
