YDC questions...

[foxescome]

1/ What do the initials YDC stand for?

2/ How long has it been going?

4/ Is there a total amount raised so far recorded anywhere?

3/ If I wanted to list something is there any other way of bidder making payment as I don't really want the money to go into my business PP account. I do have a private one, how would I link that one to the listing without it affecting my other listings?

That's it for now... sure I'll be back

1. Originally Yorkie's Daft Competition, but these days it more often is used for Your Donation Counts, I believe.

2. Don't know.

4. There's a total of totals thread I think, and Babs has a Squidoo lens about it - I'll find that if nobody else posts it.

3. (I've used your numbering convention you see? ) you can always ask bidders/buyers to pay direct to the person collecting that month's money, so it doesn't go to you at all. Quite often the collecting person has a Just Giving page to make it even easier.

This is an old quote from Wikipedia. Since then of course the YDC has been taken over by Babs and has now moved from the kitchen table to the charity forum.


The history of YDC

The YDC charity auctions were started back in 2003 by YorkiesAuctions (he also started the monthly charity auctions on ebay uk several years before too). The original name of the monthly charity auctions was Yorkies Daft Competition the reason being that forum members competed against each other to raise the largest amount for charity each month and Yorkie came up with the idea and ran the competition. When Yorkie had to stop running the YDC in late 2006 due to family and work commitments the name of the auctions were changed to Your Donation Counts. The YDC is currently run by Shezz.
The YDC is open to all Ebid members and is a fun way to raise money for charity. YDC announcements can be found on eBID's Kitchen Table forum, and forum members are always happy to help new members wishing to take part in YDC. Each month the winner of YDC gets to nominate the following YDC's featured charity. Members may support the featured charity or support a charity of their own choice.

And you can pay out any YDC auctions you win, out of either of your accounts. We don't care if it is a business or personal account
