REPLAY4JAPAN: Guide to Confirming Donations
The REPLAY 4 JAPAN fundraising auction is officially closed!
What's next?
Okay, so presumably you've won your bid and the author(s)/artist(s) have notified you in some way about it. Great! So now what you want to do is donate, because after all that's what fundraising is all about. Here are a few steps for you to follow, with some examples provided by phasera and joonbi:
Step 1 - Receive winning notice from author or artist.• This is an example of a notification! It can also be done via PM.
Step 2 - Check which organizations they've selected as preferred donation recipients.
Step 3 - (A) Make a single donation in the amount of your bid, or (B) You may combine donations if you have multiple wins and multiple bids to fill, but only if the authors/artists share a common specified charity or organization .• For example, if you bid $3 on an author and $5 on an artist and they both specified Paypal, you can donate a total of $8 to Paypal’s Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief fund.
Step 4 - If you donate electronically, it should be emailed to you; you can screencap the on-screen confirmation or the one that is emailed to you. IMPORTANT: Please use an image editing program (Paint, Photoshop) to blur or cover up any personal information such as your address, phone number, card number, etc.• This is an example of a screenshot of a single donation.
• This is an example of a screenshot of a combined donation.
Step 5 - Once you have your proofs, please send them in an email to replaymod@gmail.com with the following formatting:Subject of email: "YOURUSERNAME - Replay4Japan Donation Confirmation"
