Hi!
I ordered Round 5 keycaps.
This is my invoice.

XX.XX USD
\___________ Amount to be paid within 7 days via PayPal in USD (no gift!)
To:
XXXXXX@gmail.com (mashby)
\___________ Send money for Service!!
Not as Gift or Goods!!
Text:
XX XXXX bickle
\___________ Please, use this and only this text
and do not add any fluff!!!

Otherwise, you will not get any key caps!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't understand what is Text section.
Is this required to proceed payment?
What should I use this?

There must be a field where you enter text like "This money is for this and that" or "R5 0000 username".

I wonder what is "Please, use this and only this text" part.
Where should I use this text?
In other words, How should I use this "R5 0000 username"?

My order number (from the header of the invoice mail) is 0048 and my user name is Halvar, so I would pay like this using PayPal (except I would pay in US$, not €):

The damnedest thing with PayPal: it looks completely different in different countries, and different browsers too.
I was asked about good/services vs. gift before this stage (correct answer: services).

Fortunately, I'm all up to date. And I'm ahead of most people on the shipping list! Keyboard Porn awaits…

According to the ECB website:
1 EUR == GBP 0.79495 !!!


This means PayPal takes away GBP 824.84 instead of GBP 794.15, for your 999 EUR payment!


You waste GBP 30.69 or 38.61 EUR to PayPal, not mentioning PayPal fees for the person who receives the money!

Yeah, they're such fine, honourable scumbags are they not! Ugh, stupid local currencies…

Even worse than that! My recent Round 5 bill of 55.38 USD became £35.53 = $57.14 thanks to those buggers holding on for several days waiting for the exchange rate to be more favourable to them, and hostile to me! They are forever up to tricks like that.

Christ, when are we ever going to join the Euro! (When hell freezes over, sadly. Stupid voters…)
