They may be paying for support (as per the GPL). Note, however, that "support" may very well be only a link to this mailing list. In any case, if money is collected, then a disc _should_ be delivered. Can the OP provide a link to the page from which he purchased the software? And, I should note, buying software from spam emails is not recommended, for quite this reason.
