It's been a while since I established this... If you want to receive payments via PayPal, as opposed to just sending money, then you have to set up a "merchant account" as opposed to the basic one. It is still nominally free but PayPal will take a small cut from each transaction. You will be asked to link your PayPal account to at least one bank account. The accounts remain separate and you have to manually initiate transfers between your bank and PayPal accounts. I don't know how this procedure would change for anyone outside the U.S., as far as giving PayPal the account and routing numbers, SWIFT codes or IBAN's or whatever...

Well done Wolfgang.
This is good news. The material is probably very much like the phenolic resin material called 'tufnol' which has good dimensional stability with temperature and humidity, is easily worked and quite strong. If similar, it will be brittle most likely to some extent so will not take being dropped on the floor if thin tubing.
Paypal is a very good way to transfer monies around the world. Anything else especially if involving banks is a nightmare. A cheque sent is the only other real alternative I think.
