What is this?
equalityauction is a fandom charity auction in the style of Sweet Charity, Live Long & Marry, Help Haiti, and countless others. Fans offer works they can create to be bid on, the winning bidder makes a donation to charity and receives the work.

equalityauction is seeking to raise money because Black Lives Matter. While a few funds, charities, and causes will be suggested by this community, there is a long list that's accepting donations and any from it may be chosen.

How It Works:

For one week, creators offer items for either auction or as "Buy-It-Now". Once that week ends, bidding (or Buying) begins. For "Buy-It-Now" items, the creator has set a price and the first person to agree to that price wins. (Note: Creators may, for example, offer three identical items for the first three buyers.) For auctions, bidding is done by commenting to the auction listing. The next bidder replies to the high bid with their own, higher bid. At the end, the highest bidder wins the item.

Donations can be made immediately upon confirmation of either winning a Buy-It-Now or auction. (Instructions for confirmation will be updated in the near future.)

This post may be updated at any time with additional information.

Questions

[partridgemod]

This is a post for asking any questions not covered elsewhere.

Comments are screened.

Answers may be added to the main Information post or in other relevant places.

Frequent Answers:

Offering explicit fanworks is fine.

Dollar amounts are in USD, bid increments should be no lower than $1USD.

If you are offering multiple different items in the auction post, utilizing a separate comment for each offer will minimize potential confusion once bidding opens.

You may edit your offers until bidding opens. After that point, do not edit your offers.

A post containing more information about bidding/buy-it-now and confirming donation will be posted on June 19th.
