1) Lightning round reminder

I understand bidding for the lightning round starts May 1st, right? I was wondering though when we can start putting up offers?

[moyakite]

Seconding this question; I'm kind of unsure about that, myself.

[hesselives]

hi! offering will also start at the same time, so as to minimize any confusion over timing. :)

[eerian_sadow]

i was about to ask the same thing myself!

I have a question if that's okay. I won four offers and I only know of one for sure that has posted in the confirmation post. I'm willing to go through all 99 pages to make sure my posts have been confirmed, but is there an easier way to know for sure? Most of the offerers I've been in contact with never let me know, but I want to double check to be on the safe side. OR would it be easier for me to do one big post of all my wins WITH the confirmations in the post for your records?

[hesselives]

hi! unfortunately, i am on my tablet right now (and therefore unable to check our spreadsheets), but i can certainly check for you after i get off work in about 4 hours, if you can provide the links to all 4 offers. no need to sift through all 99 pages!

alternatively, to be extra sure, you are encouraged to make one big post with all your wins. our spreadsheets are structured and marked such that double-counting is prevented. :)

hope that helps!

Sorry to be so late! So should I make a big post to the confirmation page for all of my wins? Would that be easier?

[hesselives]

yes, please do. it would be easier for us to log all of them that way. :)

hi, I haven't been able to make contact with the offerers for the following listings (I would like them to count towards the money raised.). (There may be others that don't have confirmations but I have made contact. Long list and sadly I'm only at home for a while today.):

thank you for notifying us! according to our spreadsheets, the first two offers have not been confirmed through a donation confirmation post yet. all have been marked with "offerer unresponsive." the amounts will still count towards the grand total. if your offerers remain unresponsive past Monday, May 9, 12 AM (GMT+0), then you have the option of forfeiting the offers and seeking replacement offers in our upcoming pinch-hitter post.

Hi! The winning bidder for my offer already made the donation but is having a hard time sending me a confirmation. Can we still send the confirmation over even if it's late?

[hesselives]

hi! yes, you are encouraged to make a donation confirmation post, even if it's late. and we'll log it into our transaction spreadsheets. :)

Hi. I just received notification that one of the items that someone won for me was paid for fraudulently. How do you want me to handle this? Should I forward the email from the bidder confirming that she was fraudulent?

crushed and disappointed in humanity right now

[wook77]

Forwarded the email I received from the bidder where she admits her fraudulent activities.

Let me know if it doesn't get there. I feel awful to have this crop up. :(

[tucuxi]

We got the email: thank you for letting us know.

(And we're pretty bummed out about it too.)
