Yes, you can transfer directly to your linked bank account at no fee. As for payment options:
- Friends or family is free of charge; however I don't think that this would provide Alex with the buyer detail (address, etc.). I could be wrong on that.
- The other option would be to do a standard payment and use a Paypal fee calculator to add in the fee so Alex receives the full amount. This risks people under paying.
Never heard that but I can image that some people have abused.
Anyway I think PayPal will be the best for alex to get the money from everybody without dealing with other side issues.
Didn´t happen to me, when I made the GB Mini-Me phono pre. Got every payment in full.
And as soon as it hit my PP account, I just transferred it to my bank account. Super easy and no hazzle at all
Thanks for all the feedbacks on PayPal in such a short time, I'll check this more carefully tomorrow.
But one point I just realized and that I completely omitted in my previous message is that France and many other countries are preventing people to leave home so nearly impossible to go to the post office to redispatch the parcels. I am afraid we'll have to be patient to see how the situation evolves. I'll get more details at Taiwan post as well and keep you updated.

i ship goods from home.
why not doing a different kind of thing ?
pay per gerber, instead of pay per pcb. so in the end we will be free to make the pcb wherever we want, when we want.
maybe still keep the option of the pcbs shipped from twn for future, but for the moment, i think that is a good opportunity.
Just lock requests from people that has already joined... this way you have eliminated almost the 99% of people that can leverage gerber from some "not-licensed" use. If someone has joined in the GB has already accepted the fact that he will receive a pcb set, so, is easy to assume that nobody at the moment is planning in some shady re-selling.
You can lock gerber file on a password protected archive and release password only to who are paying the license-fee to you.
Just an idea

You don´t need to worry Alex. Despite all the "stay at home" (I´m sent home for work as well) , the "supply chain" in most European countries, that goes for all kinds of transport incl. postal/courier services still work 100%
Thanks for the info. I was just worry that nobody is allowed to go to the Post office for the redispatch despite the Post offices are operating. Let's see.
Not to my knowledge but if someone want to handle it, welcome to do so
I can do it if people are interested.
Maybe we should do one for europe and one for us because of the shipping and taxe fees.
If so, then I would recommend the Yageo MF or MFR resistors. 25-50ppm thin film technology. Good quality at affordable price.
Can I recommend that you do a rundown of what each kit will cost in the end ?
You would also need to address the choice of components. Some are picky while others are not. Silmic II el.cap's, Yageo MF/MFR resistors, WIMA foil capacitors etc. are a few of the brands/models I want to equip mine with.
