I normally would not post this here but I understand how nervous some of you may be.
I finally got the problem with Paypal worked out and was able to send my payment now.
I am very, very sorry for the problems this caused and apologize to everyone for the delay.

Jeff it is no big deal thats why I told them it was a paypal thing.
All,
I know my order isn't much and will not affect any pricing (only 3 PCB's and 3 heatsinks ordered), however I wanted the group to know what is going on so as to not hold up the COOP intentionally. There is something wrong with paypal for me as well. I made my payment on the 6th, my bank posted it on the 7th, however RJ isn't showing it on his side. I have been working with RJ to try and figure this out and see why he's not receiving the transaction. I apologize to the group for the delay this has caused from my side.
On another note, my wife and I had our second child in the middle of March (3/11) and things have been rather hectic between my home and work lives... hence, the lack of presence from me over the past month. I try to check in but generally haven't had much of an opportunity to be as involved as I have been.
I appreciate everyone's patience and want to say I'm sorry for being one of the "holdups" so far on the COOP payment category.

I am checking right now to see if it is my mistake. I got the transaction number and can find it if it's there now.
Everyone needs to remember on coops that the guys on the receiving end have only what's in the paypal to tell them the stuff. And we all go by usernames on the forum. This causes a problem when a paypal comes in as it will always have an email but these rarely match up to your username. So if you do not have your :
Shipping Address in paypal - we do not know where to send it. We can not print the labels for the ones that do that from paypal.
Username - We likely will not know you since your real name and email address mean very little to most of us as we will have never called you or maybe even known your real name.
What you ordered - This is not as world ending but it does make it much easier for the guy doing all the work for you to save money. It lets him sort parts, make up packs, and then go to one place to pack it all up to ship. He pulls up paypal and pulls up the first payment and then
Oh its user XXXX he needs 4 of these (throws them in a box) 2 of those (throws them in a box) hits the label print, sticks it on a box and he is done with one order.
Otherwise he has to go back and forth finding it in the paypal and the Coop order pages.
This is why we made it a Coop rule to get users to do this things and have to refund it you do not.
