YDC 117 Announcement Thread 24th - 28th January 2014 - 190th Girl Guides Liverpool

[Armstrongs]

Well, it's that time again folks!

YDC 117 Begins on 24th January 2014!

As the winner of YDC 116,

liverdodo

has chosen

190th Girl Guides Liverpool

as this month's nominated charity.

Everyone is welcome to join in and list for this fabulous good cause

YDC (Your Donation Counts) is the monthly round of charity auctions on eBid.net.
YDC has two aspects, the general fund-raising for good causes, and the competitive aspect where those who choose to can compete to win the right to select the next month's nominated charity.
The rules, therefore, also have two parts: the first part applies to all auctions which are to be part of YDC; the second part applies ONLY to those auctions which are to be considered part of the competition,
If joining in with the YDC monthly charity auctions you MUST follow the rules in part one. If you would like to be in with a chance of winning the competition, you are REQUIRED to also follow the rules in part two. If you do not wish to choose, you can ignore part 2, though you may find it still contains some useful ideas that are convenient to follow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part one: Rules for All.
1. Auctions must run from the 24th to the 28th of the month.
2. Auctions must be listed in the Your Donation Counts sub-category of the Charity Auctions category.
3. Your items must be listed on eBid.net and must comply with all eBid's listing rules.
4. Your auction(s) must be for a charity or good cause.
5. YDC nn (the number of the current YDC) must be included in the auction title.
You can list as many items as you wish. You do not have to support the nominated charity, you are free to choose any cause you wish. If you would like to support the nominated charity, that's great. Please try to offer your auctions to as many international destinations as possible, for maximum YDC visibility.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part two: Rules for the competition.
1. Auctions should have a start price of 99p or less. (or local equivalent.) The website xe.com is a good place to check currency exchanges.
2. No item should have an expected value of more than £20.00 (or local equivalent). Higher value items are still welcome in YDC but should not be considered competition entries.
3. No reserve or Buy Now price should be used, nor should any listing enhancements such as Featured.
4. Please make sure your end time on the 28th matches your start time on the 24th, so that your auction only runs for exactly four days - no extending from very early on the 24th to late on the 28th, please.
5. YDC nn (the number of the current YDC) must be included in the title, preferably as shown with a space between the letters and the numbers.
6. Naturally, your items must be listed on eBid.net and must comply with all eBid's listing rules.
7. Your auction(s) must be for a charity or good cause and the description of your item must include the following text:
This auction is an entry in the YDC nn charity auction competition. All money raised by this auction will go to: charity.
8. Please do not charge more than cost price for shipping / postage.

Any questions? Please just ask!

Time to dust off the YDC cobwebs ! Got mine listed yesterday.

Wow, I see we have a YDC veteran taking part this time going right back to YDC8 !!!
Welcome back Olddiecast.

Come on all you newbies, come and list a thing or two on the YDC and help us raise cash for good causes. You can pick the nominated charity of the month or a charity of your choice. It helps give you eBid exposure and you will build up your feedback too ! If you don't fancy listing this time then come and give us a bid instead to help us along to a good total.

LOL Becky, wonder if Miss eBid would like to visit Warwickshire and go to Stratford, Warwick Castle or have her photo taken in a Motor Bus at Coventry Transport Museum before she moves on to pastures new.

Happy almost YDC,

Are you sure Miss Ebid wants a change?

Is there a website link available for the girl guides?

I'm sure she would be delighted to take a tour in that direction. A word of warning though she has an expensive taste in champagne. Quite a few bottles seemed to disappear around here over the new year period and I can think of no other reason !

Are you sure Miss Ebid wants a change?

Oh yes Private Meebo, she has her standards and now that the fireplace has been ripped out of the bedroom she is looking for alternative accomodation !

Is there a website link available for the girl guides?

I doubt it Jan. The guides and scouts wouldn't have the funds to run a website for their individual groups. Money is scarce to keep these groups running for the children, I know several have closed down in Bath, so that is why Doe needs our help.

OK thanks - is there any kind of image/logo?
