Change Of Plans (offering sketches instead)

  • Mood: Worried
  • Watching: Animated Movies
Sorry guys, but I think I might need to do a change of plans. (read below for the reason)

I'm going to have to do sketches instead. I can't do anything major like realism due to time, however, I can offer sketches.

$10 - full character sketch
$5 - character head shot with coloring

All the money from this will again, go towards my friend :iconrudikazootie:. If you are interested, post a reply or send me a note. Anything helps.

--------------------------------

The Reason

While raffles are okay in my province since this is not for profit, apparently Paypal doesn't like such things on their service.

"PayPal prohibits transactions for gambling activities by merchants and account holders in the US and any jurisdiction where gambling activities are illegal, and by merchants whose services are accessible to account holders in the US."

"Lottery tickets – Includes the purchase or sale of any opportunity to participate in a raffle, drawing, sweepstake, pool, or any other form of game or contest involving the distribution of prizes or monetary compensation."


Unfortunately, even though I'm not doing this for profit, it still falls under a raffle involving prizes. (and being accessible to those in the US)

To those who already bought tickets, (thankfully, only two of you), I can either send back the money or do a little sketch for you guys. You know who you are.

*nods* I don't think I'll have the time to do anything big like realistic works, I could easily do lots of sketches for a small cost. ($5 colored headshots, $10 character sketches etc)

Thanks for offering the prize anyway man, even though the raffle is a no-go.

Void my Recent Note...and I wouldnt mind gettin' a sketch! Again just tell me how. (^_^)
:iconredwllwrrior:
If you feel you could handle doing a ton of sketches, I'd say go that route. I'm pretty sure, however, I've seen other people do raffles on DA through PayPal. I don't think I'd want to risk it, though. =/

You can accept funds through chipin.com , though I'm not sure how it works. I have donated to other people successfully through it.

Sketches aren't a big deal because I can get them done fairly easily, and aren't a huge drain on me like realism stuff can be.

And yes, I've seen another raffle like mine on FA. I'm not sure what method he used though, but I'm sure it was PayPal. I want to play it safe.
:icontemiree:
I'm offering $5 colored headshots and $10 character sketches. If either of those interest you, let me know. =)
:icontemiree:
I've heard of ChipIn, although I'm not sure how it works exactly. I know FA uses it to get funds for their site, but I'm not sure on their stance as far as raffles go. (seeing as how it's technically gambling under law)

Man, I'm learning a lot about law right now. x.X
