Updating Rules - Other Stuff

Hello, everyone!
I couldn't come up with a good timing to bring this up without making it seem like I blame some individuals specifically for a reason or another;
That is not the case, as I think this is a problem I've caused myself by not setting better and clearer rules.
Recently it has become a rule and not an exception that people withdraw from the purchases and auction bids. It wasn't a problem when it happened only occasionally, past few years it was really rare.
Sudden economical strikes and issues are understandable reasons to withdraw, and even though it's unfortunate for both parties, I do understand and I've always been okay with that, since you can not always anticipate these things. Especially since these are not "commissions", I've been fine with it. On every failed sale I do lose certain resources, but that is a risk I've chosen to take with the pre-made adoptable character designs. With commissions, this wouldn't be an big of an issue, since the transaction process is different.
- I wish that in the future in auction, even if you get bid out, you are aware that your bid still counts, because you can never know if the highest bidder will withdraw for whatever reason, therefore you becoming the next one on the list to being contacted.
- I will clarify on the rules from now on that the 2 days waiting limit is a time the buyer has time to respond to the note after an auction, till I move to the previous bidder.
- Mention payment plan option, as I've done these with buyers who are still up for the adoption, but need more time for the transaction.
Something a bit more positive:
As I don't have premium membership in here I can't do a poll, I'm looking for options to it for you to link and participate!
I've been thinking about making a poll related to your wishes for possible future adoptables.
I also need to research what would be the best way to organize a raffle, as I would like to offer a free adoptable character designs (pre-made) for you to win 👀
ALSO I'll drop a new batch of prototype adoptables in a moment, stay tuned!
Thank you so much for all the people who have visited my gallery, have expressed their interest and love, and have purchased from me!
It helps me to update my art tools and keep creating.
But I'm glad you're posting more adoptables, I'm certainly loving the new batch you posted. I looked at all 4 of them and didnt notice they had extra limbs at first Haha.
Thank you! :D I'll try to drop out them more often, I've just been really busy at the beginning of this year, and out of any creativity, too. But now I'm pumped to get more designs out there again!
