Donation Confirmation Station

With the round closing in less than 12 hours, I'm setting up some resources that will be useful once winning bidders are notified.

(On that note, here is a countdown courtesy of kirax2!)

So once the round has closed and the winning bidder has been informed of their win, they will confirm their donation in one of two ways:

1) by notifying the offerer directly, using the email they provided in their thread, OR

2) notifying the mods, who can be reached at helppakistan.lj[at]gmail.com

---

Option 1:

If the winner confirms their donation to the offerer, the offerer then needs to reply to this post using the template provided below so we can keep track of the donation. If the offerer had more than one item up for auction, please use a separate template for each item; you can put multiple templates into one comment.

If your bidder ended up donating more specifically for your offer, please leave a note to that effect (such as combined payment for multiple offers, etc) in additional info.

 

---

Option 2:

If bidders confirm their donation to the mods, the offeror doesn't have to do anything here. A mod will get in touch with them to let them know that the donation has been confirmed. If winners are sending confirmations to our email, once again, please include your lj username and "donation confirmation" in the subject, and the url of the offering thread somewhere in the body of the email.

Also, please bear in mind that your mods will probably be going through a lot of emails in the next few days and while we are understanding of some people's reservations of sending confirmations to offerers, if you are okay with contacting your offerer and sending them your confirmation, we recommend taking that route. Although we will make sure to pass along word of your confirmation to the offerer, you should be aware that they will find out a bit later this way.

Thank you for your participation! This post will be open for commenting once we start notifying winners (so Sunday afternoon).

If you have any questions in the mean time, please ask them here.


--

ETA: If anyone wants to volunteer to help us notify winners and help out with confirmation logging and housekeeping, please either PM me or comment on the questions post with the subject "volunteer". I have amazing, amazing co-mods helping me out with this but more help would make everything go faster :)

My winning bidder has confirmed their donation to me! The winning bidder's LJ username is harper_m. The amount donated is $20. The url for the offer is: https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=99c3199171&view=att&th=12abfcc5fb280f52&attid=0.1&disp=inline&zw

I also received a lightning bid from misura, for $15. The receipt was forwarded to me, so I cannot provide a URL.

I'm sorry, that link is not working. Could you link us to the offer? We don't need to see the donation confirmation. Thank you!

I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. Mods, I also want to apologise for being so n00b and did an epic hard to follow auction page that thanks to the bidders who made sense out of it.

Anyhow, you didn't count this winning bid (http://community.livejournal.com/help_pakistan/1696.html?thread=801440#t801440), easy to miss I know. I know that Rengen doesn't have an LJ, I know her personally so I can say that as a seller I trust her 120% and I think this should be tallied toward the auction.

Thank you!

We logged it! We just didn't reply because it was an anon comment, and because you had replied, but yep, she's in our spreadsheets. :]

My winning bidder has confirmed his/her donation to me!
The winning bidder's OpenID/LJ username is: yamx (yamx will get a drabble for bidding and the winning fic)
The amount donated is: yamx placed a winning bidding of $15 or 12 Euros and doubled the donation to 25 euros
The url for the offer is: http://community.livejournal.com/help_pakistan/1110.html?thread=1622#t1622
Additional info (optional): The winning fic will more than likely end up to be more than the original thousand words I offered (I don't think yamx will mind). I'm also writing a drabble for joking who also bid on me during the auction.

Re: for myr_soleil!

Thank you for telling me! I have another question though - looking at the auction, it seems reflectedeve won it, yet here you say jerakeen confirmed. Which is it? :)

Hi there! I see that we put seldear as the winner of your auction - are seldear and tielan the same? Or did you offer something else that I'm not seeing? Inquiring minds want to know. Sorry for the trouble.

purple_cube

September 20 2010, 14:13:07 UTC 2 years ago

Hi, sorry, yes seldear and tielan are the same person - I was communicating with her by LJ message to her 'tielan' account and automatically wrote 'tielan' in the comment above without checking which account she had used to bid. Sorry for the confusion!

Not sure if you're keeping track of this or not, but I matched my winning bidder's donation and added on some of my own, bringing my donation up to $50.

My winning bidder has confirmed his/her donation to me!
The winning bidder's OpenID/LJ username is: kamiyo
The amount donated is: 12,226.00 Polish Zloty = $3,989.21 US. Yeah, you read that right.
The url for the offer is: http://community.livejournal.com/help_pakistan/1110.html?thread=27990#t27990 & http://community.livejournal.com/help_pakistan/1110.html?thread=28246#t28246 (although she wasn't the winning bidder, she offered to match the winning donation for extra stories - so she gets 15 long and 5 short fics)
Additional info (optional): kamiyo contacted me through P.M. and asked if she could have one story for each donation she made that matched the winning bid. She and a bunch of friends got together and made an amazing donation. I am so completely humbled that they did that.
