I know eBay is horrible and so is PayPal, but after OpenBazaar shut down, I don’t know where else to look.

I’m looking to buy a very specific PlayStation 3 model, which it seems I can only get on eBay (CECHPxx, for those wondering).

The issue is that in the EU a new directive was passed called PSD2. This means that whenever you want to purchase something online, you have to use your bank’s app which uses a form of OTP and I believe, your fingerprint. To me that sound horrible and I don’t plan on downloading the app, because it’s a giant pain in the ass to use. What are my other payment options for eBay that don’t require a freaking app to use?

Alternate question: is there an alternative to eBay that takes PaySafe cards or crypto?

And apologies if this is the wrong sub, I honestly don’t know where to post this question.

EDIT: I should mention I’m not expecting complete or even partial anonymity, just a payment method that doesn’t involve taking my biometrics.

    Maybe you have a friend with PayPal (or other accepted payment methods) that doesn’t give a cr*p about privacy that is willing to do the payment for you? Same goes for the Ebay account itself.
