Sales channels like Ebay's Global Shipping Program and Amazon
#1
Seeing the news articles about the new Pinebook Pro, I definitely think that sales of Pine64 will be much higher than before.

It seems to me that Pine64 should definitely make the purchase and delivery process much less painful in order to handle the new sales levels.

For me, the biggest pain point is that I have to handle the customs process myself which is expensive and tiresome.

Both Ebay and Amazon provides proper solutions for this problem. You pay all import duties in advance at checkout and the product gets shipped to your doorstep. No customs hassle, no extra processing fees, you just get the product delivered.

I would definitely pay 10-15 bucks more for a Pinebook / Pinebook Pro if it came via the Ebay Global Shipping Program or Amazon. I loose this money as extra customs processing fee anyways. Also, in this product category, you will have to pay the import duties as well in most countries so there is no point in hoping that it slips through the customs office and one doesn't have to pay the duties at all.

I heard in a Youtube interview that Pine64 is planning changes in the sales mechanism.

Will the Pinebooks become available via Ebay or Amazon any time soon?
