THE AUCTION HAS ENDED!
Monday, February 27, 2012Welcome to the Auction!
Friday, February 24, 2012Welcome to Jonah's EB Auction 2012! The auction begins Friday 2/24 at 8pm and will come to a close on Monday the 27th at 9pm EST. Here is how things will work:
- Listings. There is a separate listing post for every item in the auction. Directly below this post, you can find a post with a clickable list of categories. (updated link coming soon) When you click on a link, it will take you to a page that lists out each individual item in that category. From there, you can choose to view individual items, or you can choose to pull up the listings for everything in that category. We've tried to give you options so you can browse in a way that is the most comfortable for you.
- "Older Posts" There are pages and pages of great auction stuff. When you get to the bottom of a page, click on "older posts" to see more. (You will eventually run out of stuff, but that's a great way to make sure you've seen everything!)
- Bidding. Bidding will be done by commenting on the item. You can find a tutorial here. Feel free to practice bidding on that post. You MUST use a valid email address to bid. Please double check that your email address is correct before posting. The email you use to bid is the one I will use to contact you should you win the item. If what you have provided is incorrect, you might lose out on your item.
- Bidding (part 2). Please make sure that you look at all bids on an item before you enter yours and make sure that it is HIGHER than the highest current bid. The last bid is usually the highest, but if two people post at the same time, sometimes it might not be right at the top. So please (for my sanity) double check. :)
- Winning an item. The auction is officially over at 9pm on the 27th. The highest bidder when the clock changes to 9pm will be considered the winning bidder for that item. That means if you make your bid at 9pm, you are too late. If you get your bid in at 8:59 and 59 seconds, you are fine (and either gutsy or completely mad). The time stamp on your bid post will be used to determine if your bid was received in time.
- Payment. If you win an item, payment will be made as a direct donation to DebRA. We've teamed up with DebRA and will have a specific link for all payments to go through. At the end of the auction, I will send all winners an email with that link (and further directions). After the email is sent, payment is due within 48 hours. If your payment is not received in that time frame, the item will be offered to the next highest bidder. At that point, any payment made by the original high bidder will be considered a donation and they will not receive an item in return. I hate to have to include that, but both years we have had people bid and then not follow through on payment.
- Other donations. Last year, we had a lot of requests asking if there was a way to make a donation to DebRA in conjunction with the auction for those that didn't win items. Once I get our link from DebRA after the auction, I will be sure to post it here so that those who would like to donate may do so.
- Shipping. We do not require that anyone pay for their own shipping for items won in the auction. We've collected donations to help pay for shipping. However, if you would like to contribute toward the shipping for your item, I can provide you with a separate paypal link to do so. Any money left over from the shipping fund will go as a direct donation to DebRA. Please note that since it is not being done through DebRA, shipping will not be tax deductible.
- Site terms. You can find all of our site terms here.
- Other questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them here or email them to me at jonahsebauction@gmail.com. I will try to get questions answered as soon as possible so that you can get your bid on!
I'm so excited for this auction and am incredibly indebted to all of the wonderful individuals and businesses that donated. We have over 160 great items on which you can bid. It's mind boggling (in the best way possible!). I hope that those individuals know just how thankful both myself and Patrice are for their generosity.
And I thank all of you in advance for taking part in this auction and supporting us with your bids. It wouldn't be much of an auction if we had 160 items and no one to bid on them.
Here's to a great and wildly successful auction! The funds we raise here will help families dealing with EB and will help fund research that will someday get rid of this horrid thing called EB.
