PayPal does not deliberately try to make it harder to order, I saw a post months ago with a description explaining this.
Possibly...
But otoh, I'm reasonably sure there are quite a few people that don't like sharing (even as guest) their private data with Paypal & Co. For some of those, the Pinephone is just too tempting to let Paypal ruin the party...
So, actually, the suggestion for PINE store improvement should read: please offer alternative (less intrusive) payment method(s) besides Paypal.
Perhaps ask them to give more options for payment ?
But telling them to stop accepting PayPal because you do not like it is unfair to them and to those who prefer it.
It is the only online money movement I use, paying merchants or sending cash to my kids.
