The main question is in the title. The story is as follows:
I decided to try the european store and buy a replacement for my PineTime (mine is non-usable, basically e-waste), but I found that the pay must go through a company which I'm unfamiliar with and asks directly for credit/debit card info to transfer money from.
I'm not a fan of PayPal, but there's an additional step of approval at least. And I wasn't interested in trying if everything will work correctly with this new company.
I've donated the money to some open source projects. Well, in the end the money did end up being used to support something, so it's not all bad. But I would like it if more options to pay were added in the future, where the transfer of money doesn't happen automatically without my knowledge and approval on every transfer.
