And I just paid $3.85 shipping to Oz - bargain.

I was just about to buy one, but then I encountered this:


The same damn reason I didn't buy one of the negative feedback shirts. >:(
<fellbuendel> it's arduino, you're not supposed to know anything about what you're doing
<fellbuendel> if you knew, you wouldn't be using it

That seems like a PayPal issue, nothing to do with Teespring?  :-//

but others did ... so it can be only your computer.
I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter ...
I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me.

Pretty crappy, actually.

I liked the T-Shirt, as Dave said it says $3.85 shipping but the Paypal e-mail bill had shipping at 10.50. I don't see how this can be the confirmation window was only US$15 + $3.85, then says you will be transferred back to T-Spring to confirm the order but you're not - the order is then done with the "Transaction Complete" window popping up. The e-mail from Paypal is the first you see of the extra charge!! So I have unwittingly bought two of them (the second one going through the motions trying to see where the extra shipping charge might have crept in).

Not happy, Jan.
Not easy, not hard, just need to be incentivised.

Almost as smart as Albert Einstein!

I'm in for one.  No problems using PayPal.

Time to upgrade your browser or change to a different internet provider. Your browser probably doesn't support the high security level Paypal requests or your ISP is blocking HTTPS connections which are too secure.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Tried several browsers (Opera, Firefox, Chrome) on two computers. None of them showed a secure connection. :-//

I find it odd, because I have paid stuff with PayPal express checkout several times on different websites, and I have never had this problem.

Your internet router/firewall could maybe be blocking SSL/TLS?

The only problem I can see with it is they're linking to a non-secure (and broken) image from the PayPal secure page.
