Admin sent me the same message and I paid the $20 because I really want to be in the GE

but I agree it seems unfair that someone from the USA will be reimbursed if they get a UK buddy but I wont be reimbursed if I get a USA buddy

Im confused.
About the UK only gift exchange nothing really has come of it, I noticed there was an old thread about it from a few years ago and they were told if they could get 5 members I think from the UK who would take part they would consider it.. and they had more then 5 willing to take part but nothing has come of it.
I think its good how people from all over the world can take part because they may have things in their country that we cant get at home or whatever.
But Im still confused over the whole $20 thing...
