They send you a link to pay through an Alibaba portal. It was easy both times I've done it. As far as your initial question, I think I ended up paying ~.47/chip for the first batch, but that included air freight (does not include very modest art fees for the designer I used). The second time was a few cents less/chip.Sure, but someone does, right? When that someone pays her, how do those payments take place? Is PayPal an option? She's in China I believe, so I imagine payment logistics might be non-trivial.
