----------------------------------------------------------------------
Competition Rules Here
- Choose an item with an expected value of less than £20.00 (or local equivalent). Higher value items are still welcome in YDC but will not be considered competition entries.
- Start your auctions at 99p or less (or local equivalent).
- Be sure your auction does not use Reserves, Buy Now prices or listing enhancements (eg Featured, etc).
- Make sure your end time on the 28th matches your start time on the 24th, so that your auction runs for exactly four days.
- Add the following text to your auction(s) description:
This auction is an entry in the YDC competition. All money raised by this auction will go to insert charity name here.
General Tips
Make sure your titles are searchable to allow for bidders from outside of the forum to find your auctions . For example, the world ‘chocklit’ is fine to be used in the auction description but it’s unlikely that bidders from outside the forum will spell ‘chocolate’ this way. So novelty spellings are best left for the descriptions.
To make sure that your YDC auctions show up when people search for ‘YDC’ it helps if you leave a space between ‘YDC’ and the numbers that follow. If you don’t leave a gap then your auction won’t show up in a general eBid search unless it includes ‘YDC*’ as a term.
Auctions without a gap will need to be searched by category otherwise and not everyone does that.
