Anyone using BlueSnap's Google Analytics integration?

Here are BlueSnap (formerly Plimus)'s instructions for integrating Google Analytics in their hosted checkout pages:

How can I define my sales goals in Google Analytics?

To set-up your sales goal and funnel, you’ll need to set-up 2 goals. Login to your Analytics account, find the relevant Website Profile and click on Edit. Set-up the following under the Goals section:

Goal 1: Purchase Successful:  
Goal URL: /BlueSnapBuyNow/Buynow Result Success  
Goal Funnel:  
Step 1: /BlueSnapBuyNow/Buynow$  
Step 2: /BlueSnapBuyNow/Buynow Step2  
Step 3: /BlueSnapBuyNow/buynow processing

Goal 2: Purchase Pending:  
Goal URL: /BlueSnapBuyNow/Buynow Result Pending  
Goal Funnel:  
Step 1: /BlueSnapBuyNow/Buynow$  
Step 2: /BlueSnapBuyNow/Buynow Step2  
Step 3: /BlueSnapBuyNow/buynow processing

Those goals didn't seem to work for me.
Is it because of the spaces and dollars?

For example: test

However, Goal 1 started working when I changed the Destination to /?thank-you=1 (the redirection back to my site which the users get upon purchasing).
