Round One of help_japan Auctions END.
Round One of the fandom auctions here at Help_Japan has officially ended.
We will no longer be accepting bids for any auctions at this time.
In order to minimize the confusion regarding the exact ending time of the auctions, please note that bids made at exactly 6:00 are still admissible for the auctions. All bids made by 6:01 and onwards do not count.
Note: If offerers don't hear back from their winning bidders within one week from the notification date, then they may discount those bids and designate the next-highest bidders as the new winners.
Please stay tuned for further updates. At this time we will be screening all comments to the comm to ensure that we can begin the shutdown process for all of the bids on the auctions.
Barring any technical difficulties, you may come back to the comm in about two hours. By that time, you can go back to the items you've bid on and determine whether you won based on these factors:
A. If the post offers just one item and you're the highest bidder, you've won.
B. If the post has more than one of the same item and your bid is in the top number of bids - eg. in the top three for a post with three items - you've won.
C. For posts with multiple items but more identical bids than the number of items, preference is given to earlier bids.
We would greatly appreciate it if the offerers in this auction can help us out by taking the initiative to inform your winning bidder/s that they have won your auction/s.
If an offerer wants to inform his/her winning bidder/s that they have won the auction, the offerer MUST comment to the winning bidder/s' bid comments, incorporating the following template or something similar:
