So I was chastised for not alerting everyone to this deal the first time around, so here it is - a Meritline daily deal. It's a goofy little thing, but for $0.69 shipped, it made me smile.

You're welcome! I've not had any discrepencies, that I'm aware of, on my Paypal receipts - but, you sometimes have to be careful about the shipping method. It doesn't always come up as free shipping by default. I've had to change this parameter before finalizing several transactions.
Thanks, guys. The coupon actually went through and it shows up on the receipt. It also did show a total of $0.69 on the website, but somewhere along the line that got changed back to $2.99. Maybe it's just a glitch or something. I already emailed ML's customer support.
Quick update: ML just issued a refund for $2.30 a couple of minutes ago. No endless going back and forth. No waiting three days for a reply. That's how it's supposed to be. Good job.
