How To Bid

Here is how you can place a bid:

1. Find the item (or items) you cannot live without. There are over 35 items! You'll find something in every price point and any category.
**Make sure you know and understand what you are bidding on
**Once Team Piggy has received payment and sent the item, there will be no refunds**
**Remember: This is a fundraiser! 100% of the $$ will go to the Breast Cancer 3-Day

2. Click on that item’s comments link--found at the end of the description.

3. Once you click comments you will see a new screen.

4. The LAST comment in the listing (if there are any) should be the highest bid. IT IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO LOOK THROUGH THE ENTIRE COMMENT SECTION TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PLACING THE HIGHEST BID.

5. In the comment box, enter the following information:
• Your first & last name
• Valid e-mail address (this will be seen by others!)
• Amount of your bid (in US dollars)

6. Scroll down and click the bubble next to anonymous unless you have an established blog profile. If you aren't sure if you have a blog profile, please default to anonymous. This is necessary or else your bid will not be submitted.
Please note: Even if you have a blog profile, please include your e-mail. We have found that leaving comments saying "you've won" result in a lot of chasing to get the winner to commit to the item.
E-mail is just easier. Thanks!

7. Click publish your comment.

8. Look again at the comments section to make sure that your bid has posted AND to make sure that your bid is still the highest!

Check back often as you may be outbid. Unlike e-Bay, we will not be contacting folks when they have been outbid. It is your responsibility to check back to see if you’re still the highest bidder on the item.

AFTER THE AUCTION
The auction will close on Tuesday, July 21, 2009, at 12:00 p.m. MST.

We will be notifying winners via e-mail (this is why we need your e-mail address!).

You will have 48 hours to respond to the e-mail with the requested information. If we do not hear from you in 48 hours, we will move onto the 2nd highest bidder. NO EXCEPTIONS.


PAYMENT
Payment for your item will need to be made via credit card, check or cash. Payment covers your bid amount. We, Team Piggy, will take care of shipping the item to you. In other words, all items have FREE SHIPPING! You can be assured 100% of the profits will go to the Breast Cancer 3-Day.


PAYING BY CREDIT CARD: If you decide to pay by credit card, you can pay online through the secure 3-Day site. This will be discussed once you are contacted regarding your winning bid.

PAYING BY CHECK OR CASH: Check/Cash payments are acceptable and details on how this will be handled will be discussed once you are contacted regarding your winning bid.
