Bidding for the auction is now CLOSED!Bidding is now closed. The highest visible bid on each thread (meaning your comment box has to be blue NOT gray) for each entertainer will be the winning bid. Tanya and I will slowly go through each individual thread and notify the bidder of their win and direct them to this post.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS CAREFULLY.
THIS will be the post where you comment with the confirmation of your donation to the charity of your choosing. All comments will be screened, meaning they will only be visible to Tanya and I. Your
own comment will be visible to you as well. Unless you are commenting anonymously from no account or social network, then you will not be able to see your own comment. This will help further protect privacy.
♠ Please comment on here with the name(s) of the entertainer(s) that you have won, as well as your name, your bid amount, proof of your donation, and a contact email where we can reach you for further details.
♠ How to provide proof of your donation
- To provide proof of your donation, we ask you to make a screencap/screenshot of the receipt you receive from the charity you donate to that is helping out Japan. All we need is your name and proof of the amount of your donation as well as the charity you donate to. We do not need your
full name, so if you feel uncomfortable showing that or any other personal details, feel free to white out those parts to protect your privacy.
-What needs to be visible on the screencap/screenshot of your donation receipt:
• Your first name
• The total amount of your final bid
• The name of the charity you donate to
• The confirmation number (if provided)
Anything more is completely up to you.
-If you are not sure on how to make a screencap/screenshot of your receipt, please forward it to either me or Tanya in an email and we will do it for you.
Emails:
Tanya and
Moey.

If you are forwarding your receipt to Tanya and I, please label your email accordingly. Meaning, please tell us your name, the entertainer(s) you won, the username you used to bid with, and the amount of your bids for each entertainer you bid on. This will help us cross-reference everything more smoothly. ♠ FOR ANONYMOUS WINNING BIDDERS. This is
very important, so please read carefully. If you bid anonymously and you are the winning bid
please comment on this post with your NAME and a CONTACT EMAIL where we can reach you. It is VERY important that you comment on this post so we can match your IP address with the IP address of the winning anonymous bid so we can make sure you are the same person.
♠ If you have won more than one entertainer, you do not have to donate separately to several different charities. If you prefer, you can donate the
total amount of all your bids to one charity.
♠ If you are donating as a group, please let us know how you would want the entertainer(s) you have won to address you in the message. Also, if you have any other specific requests, a happy birthday, etc. We can't guarantee you what said entertainer(s) will further say in your personalized message because anything more/less is up to them. But these details can all be ironed out in emails. Which is why it's important we have some kind of contact info from you.
♠ If for whatever reason the person with the highest bid cannot fulfill their donation, we will contact the person with the next highest bid.
♠ If the entertainer asks or chooses to know, we will show them the proof of your donation.
♠ Tanya and I will post the total amount
japan_calls has raised after we've gotten all donation confirmations.

List of Charity Options♠ And once again, last but not least, we very sincerely hope you all read
OUR DISCLAIMER post before you started bidding.
We will start the task of contacting the entertainers as soon as we have received the donation confirmation from each person who has won. But please, please be patient with Tanya and I as there is NO set time limit for the entertainers to get back to us. We really hope they can get back to us with the recorded messages as soon as possible but they are under no obligation to do so. As they are under no obligation to fulfill the end of their agreement as well. It is not a binding contract. So while each entertainer has agreed to be a part of our charity (you can see all the confirmation screenshots of their agreement on our confirmed entertainers post
HERE) we are not responsible for any entertainer backing out. Again, this is all explained in
OUR DISCLAIMER post.
Thank you all again SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH for your generosity. Ultimately you all should be proud for giving what you can to help out Japan. And we are forever grateful for all the enthusiasm and help each and every single one of you has done for Our Little Charity That Could, as I like to call it. :P Thank you times a billion!
If you have any questions about the donations as well as anything else discussed in this post, please feel free to comment with them here!
