Modified sample file.

Hi Tim,
regular expressions in calc are not the same wildcard than excel. They are more
complex and powerful but not so simple as in excel. Look up in the help for
regular expressions.

Also remember that by default open an xls file by default disable regular
expressions option.

If you want your formula working, enable regular expressions and substitute "*"
with ".*"
=sumif(d1:d9999,"paypal.*",e1:e9999)

One trick, that I have used time ago is enter the wildcard in a cell and
reference this cell in the expression.
B3: .* (* in excel)
=sumif(d1:d9999,"paypal"&$B$3,e1:e9999)
Attached your file with a little modification.

It is not a bug, is how it works.
