I was unable to buy one, due to the organisations insistence on using paypal as a payment processor - and having been "banned" from using paypal, for refusing to send "identity documents".

Unless that situation has changed, it seems at odds with the open source, do not track me, ethos.

Just checked their store. In the checkout it says you can pay with your credit card if you don't have Paypal.

edit: or is credit card at odds with your wish not to be tracked, too?

What should they do? Accept shitcoins?

I think it's plainly evident from my prevous comment what I consider to be tracking - providing paypal with government identity documents, for it to do what it wishes with. I don't think the snarky shitcoin comment is necessary, but rather shitcoins than paypal, yes.

Do you think potential Pinebook Pro customers should have to spend an accumulated four hours of their time, telephoning some call centre in the Phillipines, just to buy a laptop?

Nope.

No, credit card is fine. I did raise an issue via Twitter, at the launch of the Pinebook Pro, but no response.
