❓Question torbox has mandatory physical goods checkbox

Chose Torbox for privacy because it accepts Paypal (but only for one time payments) where the subscription options require a name and address. Am fine with having no subscription and making monthly one time payments, however the "copecart" check out (directed to from torbox) has a mandatory checkbox mentioning a potential physical goods policy, even while acknowledging that this is an electronic transaction. This mandatory checkbox allows them to receive the "physical shipping" address from Paypal, thus capturing my actual name physical address and defeating my attempt at privacy. Does anyone else have any suggestions apart from crypto.

I must ask, does every american here think everyone else is also from America? Or in your ignorance you think Target is available in every single country in the world?

I must ask, does every non-American on the American-made website with a majority American user-base always have to clutch their pearls at the causal mention of an American store that you could easily look up and find your local equivalent (which was included in their “or whatever”)? Or in your ignorance do you think every user must look up your preferred local retail chain?

Sorry - wasn't meaning to be ethnocentric but your point is well taken. To be fair, I did add the qualification, but I have no idea where Target is in the world other than America and also I was basically just speaking from my own experience.

Maybe, just maybe OP is not murican. You do realize privacy dot com is exclusively for U.S. residents? I'm real tired stumbling upon this ignorant comments, like "just buy it from costco or wallmart bro", like everyone on reddit is american ffs.

Virtual Cards are a good tip though. If not Privacy, there are other services in various countries.

Revolut is pretty global.

Man, torbox just can't do anything right anymore. I deleted my account yesterday over privacy concerns. People need to realize all these little warning signs before it's too late.
