1sks vs bfc upgrade?

[oh1]

I just upgraded my membership to gold via the 1sks site but when I checked here I noticed a $5 difference in cost, could the extra fee be put toward extending the term of my gold membership? Thanks

edit: my bad, I knew it was there somewhere... spelled out to a T.....

If you used the manual system, the price is $30.00. If you used the automated system, the price is $25.00. The extra $5.00 is to pay for the additional work necessary to get approval using the manual system. When you pay through 1SKS it is the manual system that is used.
