fandomtrumpshate | We’re all feeling generous but please wait for emails!

Bidders:

Please do not send in donation receipts yet! You'll soon receive an email from us listing your high bids and the link to the donation proof form. If you don’t have a Google account you will need to email them to us but please wait and send it as a reply to this email!

In fact, it’s best if you wait to get our email before you donate at all, just to make sure our records match yours in terms of which auctions you won for how much, and which organizations your creators chose.

Creators:

We know that some of you are excited to offer gifts to your second bidders! As it mentions in the email you got last night, please wait and let us coordinate this, as we need to make sure we have accurate records of everything. We will email you in a couple of days asking if you want to extend a second chance offer, and if you do, we’ll email your bidder.

Both bidders and creators - Please remember not to put pressure in either direction when it comes to second chance offers! Not all creators have time/energy to extend them, and not all bidders can afford to accept them. This is one reason to let us handle all communication, so that nobody feels personally on the hook for something that they have not yet committed to.

We love the post-auction energy and we are SO HYPED to find out what our final total will be (all we know now is… it’s BIG), but as the auction grows it gets even more important for us to keep accurate records… and unfortunately it also takes longer for us to coax Google’s tools into generating everything we need. Thank you for your patience!
