The following was extracted from the QRZ.com TO2FH dxpedition page 
concerning how to obtain their QSL card:

'.......The first one is a double colorful QSL with many pictures taken 
during the dx-pedition and the full team. If you wish to order it,
 you should choose the first Paypal option and we demand a minimum 
credit of US$ 7.00. The second one is a single QSL with a colorful side 
and a
 black/white opposite side and you should choose the second Paypal 
option and we demand a fixed credit of US$ 2.00. If you love dx-peditions,
 help us to continue planning new dx-peditions to interesting places. 
Any donation is highly regarded! Bear in mind that costs of a 
dx-pedition like this
 one are really high and a tiny donation will be a big 
support...................'"

My first reaction after reading the second and third lines was that the 
word "demand" was somewhat forceful and overbearing. However, after some
consideration I came to the conclusion that the writer was probably 
taught that the word is not as vitriolic as I perceived it. The bottom 
line::
"Hey Murray don't jump to conclusions especially in the world of DX".
