From Matul's website, under the tab 'How to Order'
--- Quote ---Payment Procedure
The easiest way to pay is by money transfer. Some of our clients send money by registered mail as it is less expensive. To date we have not experienced any problems, however this method is not recommended.
You may wish to pay the full sum when placing your order. Alternatively, you can send an initial installment of 40% of the cost of the item. We regret we are unable to undertake any work on your order until this minimum payment is made. We wait for money transfer 14 days, after that time your order will be canceled.
We provide payment details by e-mail with confirmation of your order.

So you're looking at an international money transfer, typically done electronically through your bank. They will provide the necessary information regarding where to transfer the money to at time of order placement. Nothing on their literature indicates they accept Paypal.

They got nice stuff there and well I DO need a new aketon because my current one doesnt go down to my knees thus making the maill flap around and ruin my braies and chausses. Maybe I could get padded cuisses to solve that? But that will be my last ditch method if I cant get a new gambeson by October.

You could use padded cuisses but if you're thinking of the ones like at Medieval Collectibles I can tell you they won't fit you. They didn't fit me either, I have slim legs so such things are often a problem for me. You could also tie the lower front and back parts of your hauberk so that they sit tighter against the leg, thereby mitigating the flapping about that's causing havoc with your clothing. I do that and its a lot less annoying to walk about in maille. When I say tie, I'm talking about the inner corner of the slit at the bottom...use leather laces to tie the front to the back around the inside of your thigh.
Also, since you just setup a PayPal account, you probably want to continue using it- I'm not saying Matuls is bad, but for myself I try to avoid wire transfers unless you know who you're dealing with and trust them.

Found this place via google. I sent them an email asking them if they ship to the USA and if they can get it in time for Days of Knights. Their stuff seems to be cheaper than the other place as well, much cheaper. Looks to be similar quality too and they offer it hand sewn as well.
Sir William:
Hard to tell quality by pictures, Ulrich- keep that in mind. Also, you get what you pay for...go for cheap, that's what you'll get. Still, young as you are, you can deal with the disappointment of receiving substandard equipment, it is part of the learning process and as much as we try to caution you from it, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, right?
Sir Ulrich:
Yeah I would go custom but I dont got much time so I think I am gonna order this:

It's in the color I want it's a pull over and it reaches to the knees so it's obviously made for maille. They also offer padded chausses there for the same price as the GDFB ones that would be longer and actually would FIT me.. It may be cotton but for a medieval crusader it wouldn't be out of place. It's also rather affordable so I wont be burning money away at the rate I already did.
