Gotta say, I was not very happy about having to use PayPal to order the PinePhone
@jordan31 I was only offered PayPal by the website.
@projectmoon @jordan31 Yeah it's somehow so incredibly un-user friendly! and what even is its purpose? What does it give? Shops should take my money directly.

@projectmoon @jordan31 They were nice enough to let me actually pay, because I don't have an account so needed to check out as a guest. I made an account last year but they wanted a scan of my PASSPORT. Why???? Garbage company.
What alternative would you prefer ? Bitcoin ? Not being rude, actually asking.
@PublicNuisance Many online stores let you use a card directly. Bitcoin is a massive chore so it's certainly not going to become the new paypal. Some companies accept bank transfer, some accept cash in the mail (though not appropriate for more expensive things).
@mcol is there another payment processor you could use?
