Why $1.00? Fees & bandwidth – not profit
We are not on a PayPal micropayments account. On a standard commercial account the fixed fee alone (~$0.30 / £0.30) can wipe out sub-dollar sales – we have seen £0.24 tickets net £0.00. Ads never covered keeping these archives online; that is why so many historic firmwares hit dead ends.
Typical waterfall on a $1.00 download (buyer pays by card in a non-primary currency):
- Gross: $1.00
- PayPal receive (~2.9% + $0.30 fixed, sometimes + international): leaves about $0.65-$0.67
- PayPal FX (~3% above base, when conversion applies): leaves about $0.63-$0.65
- Held until monthly withdraw (avoids bank transfer fees eating small nets; FX can move ~5-12% normally, ~15-30%+ on shocks): typically about $0.45-$0.55 reaches bandwidth/hosting
Your purchase contributes about 0.14¢ per day to keep this file available online for a year (based on a typical ~50¢ residual after PayPal fees and monthly currency conversion).
Whatever cents survive go to storage and bandwidth so this firmware stays downloadable – not to profit.
