Thank you so much for making this auction a success!
Please follow these instructions to pay for and receive the service or product you won. (Please do the steps in the order listed. Thank you!)
1. If you are certain you know everything you bid on and won, including winning bid amount of each, total them up.
If you are not certain you know your tally, please email swachsler at aol.com with what you think you bid on and/or won, and ask us to double-check all your bids and math. We will email you back with a list and a tally. Please keep an eye on your email (including your spam folder). If you don't hear back within 24 hours, try our backup email, occupiehome at gmail.com or tweet @aftergadget.
2. When you know what you've won, please fill out the "Auction Winners Contact/Information Sheet" below. We need the information in this form to give to the people who donated your products/services. This information will be kept private. Your information will NOT appear on this or other websites. When you click SUBMIT, the information will be emailed to the people who have organized the auction. If you have any trouble using the form below, comment on this post or email one of the addresses above, and we'll email you the form. (So please make sure to include your email in your comment!)
3. Once you know the total amount you owe, please use the Paypal button in the upper right corner or bottom left of this site. If you have a problem with the button, but can access Paypal through your own account, please email swachsler at aol.com and we'll give you Marlena's Paypal address.
If you do not use Paypal, please send a personal check, bank check, or money order, ASAP, made out to "Marlena Willis" and mail it to Marlena Willis, P.O. Box 11211, Oakland, CA 94611. Please email us at occupiehome@gmail.com ASAP and tell us which day you mailed your check. Then we will have an idea of when to expect it. We will be happy to send you your item AFTER your check has been received. Thank you!
4. We request that you fill out the contact form AND send your payment within 48 hours. We really need Marlena to get this help ASAP, and for the people running this auction who are severely ill, we need to keep things simple and efficient. If you are the highest bidder and fail to pay or to alert us that you have paid within 72 hours (3 days) of notification of winning, we will contact the next-highest bidder and tell them they have won the item instead. Thank you for your understanding.
5. Please email swachsler at aol.com to indicate you've paid; please give your name and the amount you paid so we can keep track with what Marlena receives.
Since the people who have donated these items are also donating shipping, it is up to them what method of shipping to use; most will probably use whatever is easiest or least expensive. Also, many donors are chronically ill and have multiple items to send, so it may take them up to a week to get your item in the mail. We thank you for your patience.
WE TRULY APPRECIATE THE GENEROSITY, KINDNESS, AND SUPPORT OF ALL WHO BID, DONATED SERVICES, MADE PHONE CALLS, AND OTHERWISE HELPED TO SUPPORT MARLENA AND HER STUDENTS. Thank you!
