AUCTIONS FOR ACTION! My Contribution! Benefits ACLU!
My friend Nicole Kornher-Stace, author of ARCHIVIST WASP, created this AUCTIONS FOR ACTION page.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
We're here to auction items (art, books, handcrafted items, baked goods, whatever!) to benefit the ACLU. Ongoing as long as there's interest!
Here's how it works:
SELLERS:
1.) List each item in a separate post under the "Sell Something" tab.
2.) Set a starting bid and end time, and whether you are covering shipping cost or the buyer will need to pay for it.
3.) When your auction is over, post that it has ended and contact your buyer.
4.) The buyer will provide a shipping address and proof of donation to the ACLU in the amount of the winning bid.
5.) If you are not covering shipping costs, you will need to get them Paypaled to you by the winning bidder.
6.) Ship your item as agreed upon with the buyer.
BUYERS:
1.) Bid on items in their own threads. Note what time your auction is ending.
2.) If you win, provide your shipping address to the seller.
3.) Make a donation to the ACLU (https://action.aclu.org/donate-aclu) in the amount of your winning bid and send the seller proof of your donation.
4.) If shipping costs are not covered by the seller, you will need to pay them to the seller separately.
