Need US$ in PokerStars. Can swap with PayPal Transfer

I'm from the US but will be in Canada for a while so I decided to boot up my PokerStars account again.
I don't have a Canadian bank account set up so I can't do a bank draft. I've been depositing via PrePaid visa cards but there's a $7 fee to activate the $100 card and then another $2.5 for foreign transaction charge because PokerStars isn't based out of Canada. So effectively there's a 10% charge to get my money onto the account, not even considering the horrible Canadian $ to US $ exchange rate (which is currently at .89 per $1 Canadian at the moment).
I suck at poker so I've lost the few visa card I've loaded up onto PS but I am also a degenerate so I need to reload but would hate to pay a 10% fee.
Would anyone want to do an exchange of funds via Paypal and PokerStars transfer?
I don't know the logistics of how this would work but we can figure it out I guess so both parties are protected (maybe do it in small chunks at a time?).
If you're in the Toronto area, I could physically hand you over cash if you transfer some money over to my PS account too.
Any other way of depositing money into PS from Canada without having a bank account?
