You mean I can actually buy Bitcoins now without it being a complete bitch to do?
No, I presume they will only sell bitcoins to customers that have gone through all the identity checks. This is a way to get easily get rid of all your bitcoins in your favourite shop, again once you have gone through all the identity checks. Please correct me if I am wrong.
YES. You can, no need for crazy fees to Alternative Payment Processors. If you are concerned with loosing the increased level of anonymity by providing an ID just transfer your coins to a new address and use it for shopping.
