[GB] ZZ96 v2 r2 (replacements in progress)

Here is my silver, they don't have this color option for the second round, but its a nice case. ( i ditched the pcb though, can't comment on it )

Oh my god that is my dream colour. The absence of this colour is why i hesitated in the first place. In fact, I have joined the waiting list, but this is making me think twice about it. Maybe it will come back in a round 3?

I'm gonna change your case & plate to Silver, okay?

[gadzkun]

So what is going on with the GB? Did the PayPal stuff go through or not? Is there a chance to breakpoints with the added orders

Still working it out with Paypal. Breakpoints are unlikely, as I'm working with individuals rather than large for-profit companies like SP/GMK.

yes! production incoming

[Atredl]

Aw ****. I forgot to add that color.

Oops.

Added that into the form.

Aww yissss! Silver plate here I come!

If it's not too much trouble, could you change my case and plate to silver as well? /u/terrymathews on Reddit. Thanks!

[joostflux]

Hey there! I did not know this was on GH until just a bit ago. I filled out the form on Reddit 5 days ago and I was not sure if I asked for the light gold or the gold top case. I would very much like it to be the gold one if possible. Well, if I can get in the GB. Totally understand if I did not make it. /u/joostflux on Reddit, so same username as on here.

Thanks for doing this awesome group buy

Section for updates:

4/8/2016 (Beijing time)

Got off the phone with Paypal. More news coming within 48 hours, but it looks like things will work out, with Paypal holding some of the funds while I access enough to proceed with manufacturing. Depending on how it goes, this buy may be divided into two batches a la Whitefox drop. I will start firing off the remaining invoices within the next two days as well.

And to the person who submitted an order with just "reddit" and "cyan", I need your reddit username, email, and method of payment. Please PM me the details.

If the production gonna divided into 2 batch
Could you make a docs to see whos in 1st and 2nd batch
Hope i got in the 1st batch

Seconded. I would be heartbroken to be put in the second batch at this point 

[Pieminister]

Thank you for the update.

I will go and set up google wallet when I am at home. Does it work similar to paypal, i.e. will we get an email with an invoice whenever you are ready to send them?

[LunarisDream]

Similar, but the interface has a lot less tools. Functional enough for our usage. If you have a Google account, simply log in and bind your credit/debit card. I can send out money requests (the only form of payment via GW) via Gmail, which you will receive a notification for in your gmail account, and can pay through GW. If we move to GW, I will have to have everyone send me their precise mailing address, as there's no easy click-to-ship option in GW.

[tkpresent]

Thank you for your updates.

I'm OK to use GW.
But, just wondering about the refund process of my Paypal payment.
I mean that I already made a payment for this GB and want to get the money back first.
Then, I think I will be able to pay through the GW.

[TerryMathews]

PayPal will let you refund payments from a frozen account. It's the only thing you can do with the money until they unfreeze it.

Yeah, I totally understand. I'm saying that you should prepare a GW account to ease the transition, since there is still a slim chance that Paypal will cooperate. If I send the refund through Paypal, it'll be processed instantly, and you can either pay immediately or wait the 3-5 days for Paypal to do its thing first.

[WNovizar]

So what now? Are you gonna refund our payment from paypal? I'd rather not, seeing recent strength of my country currency against dollar.

[gadzkun]

im okay with using GW

+1
the problem is, i cant pay using GW before you refund PP because my CC already touch the limit.  )

I'm willing to send you GW if that's what needs to happen, however I'll need my money back via Paypal first, and it'll take however many days it takes to credit back to my checking account before I can pay you again. I don't want to lose my place in line if you end up splitting into multiple shipments.

Uh huh. I'm still hoping that Paypal will let up, but in the event that it does not, I will give everyone ample time for the refunds to go into their bank accounts and reclaim their place in line - the order won't change.

So what now? Are you gonna refund our payment from paypal? I'd rather not, seeing recent strength of my country currency against dollar.

I can probably field international orders through Paypal if there aren't many, especially if it's in a region where Google Wallet is unavailable. The first run had 9 orders through Paypal and they went through hassle-free.

Perhaps I should look into Stripe? I've seen some EU GB leaders use that recently.

[gain]

Welp guess I'll get google wallet set-up just in case, fingers crossed for you m8 

[roostrc0gburn]

hey lunaris, i have some info that may be interesting to you. i just got off the phone with paypal, trying to head-off any of these issues for the phantom group buy. The rep told me that ANY transaction could be randomly frozen. (apparently no one knows the criteria in the system - it's just random) If that happens, the seller just needs to mark the item as "shipped" and the funds will be released within 7 days. Tracking does not need to be provided at this time, but can be added later. Your account is not frozen, just the transaction, and not every transaction. it is a case-by-case basis.

doesn't seem like it's making anyone safer. basically just a CYA move by paypal

[breitling]

That's too bad.. I will probably back out if Paypal is not an option. I don't like to pay paypal exchange rates and only spend money I have in my paypal balance from having sold something prior. My way of budgeting. Here's hoping PP will work out!

[quantrix]

For installing in-switch LEDs, do I need to worry about resistors with the PCB?  Most of the build logs people just solder the LED without a resistor, and I can't find a definite source to research this.  All the Wikis are too vague or don't mention it.  I'm also considering SIP sockets, but I don't think that will make a difference.

Hey dude, I really appreciate your help! But unfortunately, I don't think I'm in the same boat as what the rep is describing. The message center notified me that my entire account is put on hold, unable to even withdraw my personal funds that I had in it previously (which is kinda no bueno considering I spent a good chunk buying some nice secondhand kbs that I sold off, along with tons of kb stuff). I am required to provide proof of delivery, not just shipment, such as a tracking number to the confirmed address that shows up as having been completed.

I hit $3k in the previous buy without issue, but at 50 orders currently with ~30 outstanding invoices @ ~$300 each, Paypal is out to prevent losses.

No, resistors come presoldered on the PCB. Only thing you need to solder are switches. SIP sockets are inserted w/ the switch and doesn't have anything to do with the PCB's SMT components. Do note that you should insert an LED into the SIP sockets before soldering it onto the board in order to have the SIP sockets sit straight as you solder, otherwise they might wiggle around and make it hard to insert LEDs later.

[Xiro7]

Is this affecting only international orders or domestic also? I personally know the people at Dwolla if you are looking for other CONUS options. They also don't charge any fees.

[gadzkun]

hope paypal change their mind next week.

[popkorn62]

OMG...hopefully this will go thru...

[WNovizar]

I managed to get my google wallet working, fingers crossed if paypal decided to not be an ass on this GB

[Gengarfan]

Any update on the paypal situation?

Also I was wondering if there was any other soldering to do other than switches such as the rgb leds?

The RGB LEDs are pre-soldered, so the only thing to do is solder the switches (plus in-switch LEDs if you want).

[airs]

Just submitted my order - silver case and silver plate. This'll be my first custom - super excited! Thanks for running this GB LunarisDream.

[Gengarfan]

It sucks that it didn't work with PP but hopefully GW treats us better! Do we need to give you any extra info to make this work?

[darkclone24]

[gadzkun]
