Wait, so you're suggesting that in order to NOT create an account I need to click "Create an Account"?
I tried what you're suggesting, but when I click the "Create an Account" button I get to the same screen as when I fill in my email address and click "Next".
I also tried not filling in my email address but then I can't click "Next".
I've been messing around with it for quite some time, but I seem to be unable to pay without creating a paypal account. And since I really don't want to create a paypal account I seem to be unable to buy the PinePhone.
I don't know if other people also have this problem (or maybe others are not as strict as me about not wanting a paypal account) but I would say Pine64 is actually losing money this way.
Seeing the current status I hope for an alternative payment method. Either by paying by creditcard directly (stripe or whatever), adding some European payment methods (iDeal/Sofortpay/etc), Cash on Delivery, wire transferring/pre paying it to an IBAN account number or I'm even up for paying in crypto. All in all I'd say I'm pretty flexible with paying (I even open a forum thread about it), but the hard requirement to create a Paypal account is really a dealbreaker for me..
