When the co-op starts, you tell me your name, address and paypal id and how much shea you want. Then I bill you, you pay, (along with the 20-40 other people) I order the shea, when it arrives I box it up and mail it out. That's the simplified version. You will not be able to participate in co-ops or classifieds in time for the co-op, you have to be a member for 30 days before you can access that part of the board. Sorry, I just noticed you are very new.
