I'm also in the boat of wanting to pay shipping costs via PayPal. I don't have any BTC yet -- that's kind of the point of buying this miner! :-)
I've yet to find anywhere I feel comfortable registering my fiat details to exchange fiat for BTC, or those sites that look reasonable to me have weeks long processes for your first exchange, or they charge some very high fees when all I need is less than 1 BTC to pay for shipping.
I'm disappointed to hear you're thinking of making us pay in BTC for shipping when we were able to pay for the hardware via PayPal!
Hey davmp.
Not making you pay BTC for shipping, just saying it would be much better for us if you could. Paypal is still totally fine for all batch one stuff. Basically i'm just trying to encourage as many people as possible to pay with BTC if they can, but if you can't or its too difficult or expensive to, paypal is fine, no problem. For those of you who can pay in BTC for shipping please feel free to begin sending through payments (some of you already have. thanks) All those who want paypal, i'll get something sorted for paypal shipping payments soon.
