The Enshittification of PCBWay

Their customer support has now been saying for 6 weeks that PayPal is "temporarily down" while they've deleted all mention of it from their website.

Payoneer isn't available in Australia, and even then there are some real concerns using it ($20USD minimum payments that can take up to 5 days that you have to confirm with PCBWay yourself, etc).

Bank transfers have a $20AUD additional fee.

For a while they wouldn't even accept CC payments which doesn't seem great but they're now back - along with an international surcharge and getting stung with massive losses on exchange rates if I was to use it.

They were good while they lasted, but making it significantly more expensive to order anything while orders are taking 2-3x as long as they did a year ago isn't a good sign.
