One question that's come up: How to accept payment.
Originally I thought PayPal, since it's what I know. Then again, it's not me who's actually delivering the product, I'm collecting funds for what's essentially a group buy. CarefreeBuzzBuzz mentioned offline that Zelle is a lightweight, no fee alternative for "friends and family" payments. This community is friendly, right?
For those who may have coordinated group buys, what do you recommend? PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, other?

I've used all these plus cashapp. PayPal has a friends and family option too.

Yes, the 100 limit includes the 67 members who have posted to this thread. Of course, when it comes time to pay, some may not follow up; I doubt anyone will be turned away.

That $45 price is amazing. I'm in and I'll watch for the order info and order/pay promptly.
Thanks again for doing this

We use Venmo at my work for group things. The app is all free and super easy to use.
Biggest downside is there's limited options, no longer any groups. I.e. You need a spreadsheet to track payments.

And there's Google Pay Send, which is another pretty universal no-fee payment method.

My question would be how many of us already have Pay Pal or the other mentioned methods?

I have PayPal and use it routinely. I've not used the other methods mentioned here, but open to whatever works best overall.

PayPal is pretty ubiquitous. I really don't want to create an account on a service I won't use again.
