RULES
THIS IS A DRAMA FREE ZONE
Don't like auctions? Don't like that I sell characters or do YOUR CHARACTER HERE images? Don't like someone participating? Don't make it known on my pages.
Seriously do not post your opinions about the current/ final bid, the bidders, their characters, the art, or the concept of auctions in general.
If you see something or someone shady going on let me know in private. I don't want to open up the floodgates for people to attack one another over this and that. This format isn't meant for everyone and there will be people who dislike it so if this is you don't participate. Keep your negativity off of my page!
Minimum Bids are $5. No penny sniping!
Bid only what you can afford upon winning the auction.
Paypal only. No E-checks. I work with invoices only so I will be asking you for your email and sending you the invoice for the transaction to take place.
I only accept bids from established members of the community only
To counter to possible troll bids I will not accept bids in certain situations at my discretion. This is usually from members without any combination of watchers/ submissions/ favorites/ views. Shady/ empty accounts make people uncomfortable and If your bid is deleted and your page is blocked don't take it personally. I'm just preventing possible issues and these are among the few tools I have to prevent them. If you were serious and blocked anyway I apologize but I need to have standards in place for auctions and show that I am willing to enforce them.
Bid as a reply to the highest bidder
If your reply to a bidder is not a bid it does not belong and will be deleted. This keeps things easier to follow.
I will be keeping screenshots of who bids and when.
This is to keep track of those who retract their bids. To deny them future participation. I'm not some auctioning venue, doing them this way requires trust in all parties and I'm doing what I can to enforce this. I do it this way because the c/o is obvious by the last bid and because I never have time to keep it fully up to date anyway. This is more for me than it is for anyone else but still, heads up!
Once the date and time are met, the auction ends regardless of whether or not I announce a winner, with one exception
I use furaffinity's timestamp for this and I base it on my time, US/ Canada's East Coast Time at EDT/ EST GMT-5. If a real bid is made just before the auction ends then an anti sniping measure is taken and a 10 minute timer is set off and the auction is extended. If no last minute bids are made, then the auction simply ends at the original time.

As someone who isn't an artist (or rather, sucks with drawing and doesn't have a way to get his few shitty drawings online) I don't have anything to fav, and the only people who have watched me were those that do watch4watch things or friends I've known IRL. At least as far as I know lol.
I guess this removes me from any future bidding possibilities though... I'll keep that in mind so as to avoid causing problems later...
