questions for steve regarding group purchases

[steve]

I'm not sure about the paypal. A long while back when I suggested paypal
there was a backlash from 

concerned people who thought that paypal was evil because it was American.
I'll check on that.

( not the evil part, the paypal part)

 

WRT to one shipment, if you order a 10 pack and debug board  I would be
surprised it was split into two

shipments.

Hi steve, 

thanks for the updates. I have a few additional questions on group purchase:


Can we pay the group payment via paypal? 
If a member of our group wants to purchase the debug board, can we order
that at the same time (and have it shipped together), or should he order
that on his own?

Thanks!

The 10 pack will have to be ordered by one person. It will ship to that
persons location.

Now, how will people arrange to do this? I thought long and hard about this.
And then I realized that some people will find one way, one guy pays and
others promise to pay him. Some people will find another way, half up front
and half on delivery. Some people will do contracts. Some people will just
choose to do a single phone.

steve, what methods are being considered by openmoko for group purchasing?

most of us do now know the other members of a group and would like
some security that the group organised is not able to run off with the
money - are openmoko willing to engage in purchases via escrow agents?
or is it a case of 'sort it our amongst yourselves, all we want is a c
card number or paypal account'? if the latter is the case, is there
anything/anyone openmoko or anyone else here can recommend for making
sure things go smoothly?

thanks
