Hi,
I have been using paypal for all of my purchases through the Pinestore/pine64.com without any problems, since last year: PinePhone, Pinebook Pro & accessories, which I use daily. (I’ve had problems with FEDEX (EU), but that was out of Pine’s control.)
People can file claims for anything, hence the fraud reports; Some of the products are for developers/serious Linux enthusiasts & not everybody is, so they make a claim to get their money back.
For example, you might have to find and manually set the APN for your mobile provider or troubleshoot wifi to get it working on a fresh installation of your preferred OS. Some things may require you to use terminal commands, if you are not comfortable there, you may want to reconsider; it is not always plug & play, so to speak.
- Read the description, check your local mobile provider settings and understand what you are purchasing, before you checkout.-
For me, they work great for what I purchased them for & to be able to use Syncthing across all of my devices has just been an outstanding feature.
Overall, I am very satisfied with what I ordered & with Pine64 itself, good folks & the online resources are full of helpful people.
