The registered e-mail on your Paypal account needs to be the same as the e-mail for your account here for the badge to automatically be allocated. If the e-mails differ just send Ryan a polite mail letting him know which 'e-mail' paid and which account he should allocate the membership to :)

Yes, send me an email (follow the Ryan link at the bottom to get my email) with the paypal transaction id. I did a search for a transaction with your id and nothing came up.

Emails no longer need to match. It uses whichever account you're logged into when you buy the membership.
