The Kitten Charity Auction benefiting the Trevor Project
[/b:a5081e262f]The Kitten Charity Auction is underway!
We plan to begin our auctions on [b:a5081e262f] Wednesday, August 21, 2002[/b:a5081e262f]. The auction will run ten days till [b:a5081e262f] Sunday, August 31, 2002[/b:a5081e262f].
So use this time to get your items all in order.
Ok. This is going to be an Ebay auction. So you will need an Ebay account.
For item you are selling for the auction we request that you put the Kitten Charity Auction graphic on your page somewhere. If you need help please feel free to ask.
Once you have your page set up email web.warlock@attbi.com">web.warlock@attbi.com and he will put links up to your items to make it easier for people to find them. Any items that you are selling that are not for the auction just leave off the graphic.
For payment, you can use whatever works best for you. Given that the Auction is set to end on Aug 31, I would suggest PayPal or money orders so you don't have to wait for checks to clear the bank.
If you don't have an Ebay account, or for some reason you can't set up an auction for yourself (there could be a lot of good reasons) then please contact Web Warlock, web.warlock@attbi.com">web.warlock@attbi.com or Rally at rallyv@yahoo.com"> rallyv@yahoo.com and they can run it for you. You can discuss in the email about how you can do this.

Things to help make your auction experience better.
- If you can get digital pics or scans of your items. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then it is also worth a few extra hits on your auction.
- Try to accurately describe your items. Give condition, including any shelf wear or odd marks.
- We are all listing our items on Wednesday. But since the Kitten is global any time is good, but having an auction that ends during Ebay's peak hours is best. Often you make your most money in the last minute bids. This is between 4:00pm and 7:00pm PST (-800 GMT).
- Use Ebay's own seller tips. pages.ebay.com/help/sellerguide/index.html and pages.ebay.com/help/sell/index.html
- If you have a lot of items, consider Mr. Lister, pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/mr.html
- Make sure you place your item in the correct category. listings.ebay.com/aw/listings/list/categories.html
