Hi, Recently I've been unable to buy circuit boards that I've designed myself from the PCB manufacturing companies in China that I regularly use as I was told by my credit card issuer that PayPal and MasterCard have blocked/banned these companies due to involvement in crypto currency scams and sale of crypto currency mining equipment. I can't even pay with PayPal to email addresses registered by these companies nor those registered by people involved with these companies, they have all been blocked by PayPal I was told. It took me some time to find this out and I am not sure that my credit card issuer was allowed to give me this much information as they have declined to answer any of my followup questions.
I was mainly using some Chinese companies as they were quite cheap at just USD $4.90 for 10 PCBs up to 100mm by 100mm plus shipping and they have always had good quality no matter what strangely looking circuit boards that I made, even with complicated outlines and holes and up to 2 layers, just a tad bit more expensive for 4 layers. The price has been a big factor for me when making prototypes, sometimes just ordering the PCBs to see how they fit in the enclosure they were intended for, without actually soldering any components, just trying them out for space. Are there any other companies out there that have similarly low prices, I tried PCBWAY and OSHPARK with a small 2 layer circuit board just 71mm by 82mm and they were asking 10 times the cost and would only supply 1 or 3 circuit boards for that price plus the shipping cost was 4-5 times as expensive. So, what cheap, but still acceptable quality, PCB manufacturers do you use? /Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
