I don't think you meant it. But that is blaming the victim

A bit uncool

One of the main features of capitalism is you can dispose of your property as you like.

Oh but the victim is usually the problem. PEBKAC is a thing. If you use a VPN, fake name, and aliased email to place an order online you can't really complain when the company cancels your order for looking suspicious.

Seems to me you subscribe to the "customer is always right" mentality and if you knew anything about working in a customer facing fashion you would know just how wrong that mentality is.

ah, and that is our problem now? If I like to use my browser with uBlock, buying a gift card on a sunday 4am right, sharing data from my phone, different city and with my new laptop, it is still your problem for not letting it go through.

How do we solve that?

You provide the most accurate and valid information you can when placing an order online.
