DriveThruRPG allows you to set a minimum value for when funds are transferred to your PayPal account, or to only cash out manually (according to my settings).
Cheers!

How do people feel about British authors using British spellings? If I had written, for example,
... fifteen new manœuvres ...
would it jar on you, or would you think it was "kinda quaint"?
It would be correct, and therefore, awesome!
Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the etymon
(. . .) and would cost me $2 to cash out
Fans don't have a couple hundred dollars to spend on their fan creations. Give them a break.
Some people have the ideas and others the technical skills (layouts, art, editing). Maybe we could all help each other? If you like what GM for power gamers did, I'm sure he'd be very happy to send you his draft so you can edit it.
Where are you getting that? I'm not finding anything in this thread suggesting authors do that.Fans don't have a couple hundred dollars to spend on their fan creations. Give them a break.
Huh? Where did you see that? The only time limit I can see is that they hold on to funds for a minimum of 60 days - I see nothing preventing you from never cashing out at all, and just leave the account to build and build and build.granted, but the funds are only held for 40 days. I think you're overestimating how many people will buy pamphlets.
I'm fine with giving fans and fan material a break, but as soon as you start charging real money, you're implying you want to be treated as a professional, and your work should reflect it.
Still, the bar isn't that high. People are just recommending authors spend a little time proof-reading and spell checking, and having someone else proof-read for you.
If you don't do at least that, your product will sink to the bottom of the pile. It's a fact. You are in a competion for other gamers dollars, and they will skip over product that doesn't look like any effort was taken in editing, let alone playtested. This thread is being offered to help new authors avoid that, and there have been offers to help people out. It doesn't take much technical skill. Heck, my browser spell-checks for me.
