First: you just order stuff from both Rounds.
Then: Do you want your Round 5 leftovers stuff soon and your Round 5a stuff whenever it's done (far future)? And pay for two shipments? That would be the default. Or do you want them combined in one shipment when Round 5a is done? If so, send the command "HONEYB" to the bot.
Google conversation: Google did some great things where they were far more innovative than the rest of the planet, like their search engine that is still without competitor a decade later. Search, Maps, GMail, Translator, News, even Docs and, to some extent, Android -- these are all very useful innovations. If you are an advertiser, you might even think of Google Ads as a very innovative and useful idea. They are an innovation-driven company if there ever was one, and I do like that about them. Sure, they do have some dark sides like their missing inhibitions to collect the most private data and keep them forever, and they have become far too dominant, but they don't have a track record of abusing their user's data, and I have quite some respect for them and their innovative spirit.
eBay is totally different. They're a monopolist of the bad old kind, just living by their market dominance. They aren't innovative, they are far too expensive, there's hardly anything likable there. Pretty much like the Microsoft of the 90's and 00's.
Amazon has some pretty despicable practices, but they are where they are because (and as long as) they are better than their competition from a customer view. And they are.
