Hello! I'd like to place an order for two asterisks, please. You'll have to tell me how to complete the transaction, as I've never bought anything before. :)

Certainly. \:D/

To pay for any transaction, simply click on my profile. Under "cash on hand," there's a link that says "donate." After clicking that, it will ask you how much to transfer. I'll send the merchandise to you via PM after receiving the payment.

Thank you very much for your order. \:D/ It's currently being packaged, and a free comma will be included with everything else. Your total comes to $2.15.

As far as I'm aware, there is no ToO sales tax, unless the administration changes something.

Thank ye kindly. I am sure they will go to good use one of these days. Also, it's nice to finally know what an ampersand is.

Would it be possible for me to send you a sample of writing and have you punctuate it for me?

It's the first time I've gotten such a request, but I'd be happy to do it for you. I'll just bill you the normal rate for the punctuation I use.

NOTICE to all The Punctuation Shop patrons: Thanks to the tireless effort of our employees, the shortage of right parentheses has been resolved, and their price will be returned to 50 cents. We appreciate your patience in this matter.
