Jerome Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Great idea, but isn't there a way to leverage on eBay to manage the bidding and payment process? (shooting in the dark, I didn't look at it, but I doubt we're the first ones doing something like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentlakecarper Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Not sure Jerome, Figured this was a fun way to get everyone involved that chooses too in a discussion type format and at the same time avoid the fees of ebay. people can do a little smack talk and peer pressure here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accordbw Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ebay will not be worth it if you are trying to raise money here. Until you factor in the ebay fees and paypal fees you won't be making near as much trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Kok Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Besides, the idea is to keep it on the forum. It might bring in more spectators and keep the forum fresh. So far the nuts auction has been real fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ok, understood. That's an interesting idea, let's see how it pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercarpio Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 This is great. I did this a few years back with some items I had - reels/sunglasses/bait - which I auctioned on this forum and raised about $100. I think the proceeds went towards the youth carper fund. Does it still exist? -Marius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmfauver Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 If and when we win,we pay via paypal,do we make it a gift or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem (JD) Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 If and when we win,we pay via paypal,do we make it a gift or not? To make it easy, I've added a Fundraiser payment block that can be found on the Forum Index and in your Client area under Donations.

petew Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 To make it easy, I've added a Fundraiser payment block that can be found on the Forum Index and in your Client area under Donations. And Should that be net of shipping or gross and payback if shipping is refunded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem (JD) Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Should that be net of shipping or gross and payback if shipping is refunded? So far all the items put up the seller offered to pay shipping, so this was a good question. This can be done two ways. The winner can pay you and you just pay the balance after shipping is deducted. or They pay directly here, and we can refund you the shipping. Either way is good, whatever works best for the seller.

Jerome Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Since this is actually a donation payment (and the Paypal receipt says so), the individual paying for the item can use the receipt to save some tax dollars, right?

(DC) Mark Metzger Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) yes it is a donation but we are not a charity ... although many of our members are charitable to the club. andy/jd can we move all finished transactions down and current ones up in the listings .? also while this isnt really an "auction" per se the action could get busy near the the closing time is there any way to remove the delay on posting in this section?

redcoat Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was wondering. Was the CAG membership ever informed why the club started the fundraiser section? If not they need to be informed. Fish-On Bill Bill Yes, Andy and Mario posted details of the financial challenges we were facing early in the spring. This was followed by a number of initiatives to raise funds and/or reduce expenses. When you bid for a sack of tiger nuts back at the start of February you would, had your bid been successful, have been contributing to one such initiative.
