No, it's just that I don't think it will work for very long like that. How many copies do you expect to sell, 50? So you've made 3 dollars. Was that worth the effort? Maybe, not to me. That pays for less than an hours labour at US minimum wage. I bet it takes longer than that to set up paypal; hell you could spend longer than that just getting the formatting right.
As I've said before, I don't think it is impossible, just probably impractical. I think a properly established volunteer free 'zine is more likely to have legs.
