The auction is hosted on eBay and will be live early evening on Friday, 18 May. The auction can be found at www.eBay.co.uk and search for the British Deer Society.
To give you a better opportunity and more time to win a lot, the BDS have staggered starting times in three batches starting on 18, 19 and 20 May. Each batch will run for 10 days with the respective closing dates of 28, 29 and 30 May 2018.
If you have any problems bidding, please contact the Society on 01425 655434 (option 3) or email admin@bds.org.uk.
Whilst the society will still accept postal bids, they recommend bidding via eBay wherever possible. This will give you greater chance of winning a lot, as you will be informed by eBay if you are outbid and you can then decide whether or not to enter a higher bid. With postal bidding you can only enter one bid.
However, if you would like to make a postal bid, please ensure you enter your maximum bid onto the form and BDS will place your bid on eBay on your behalf. Your bid then works in exactly the same way as described earlier. You will however not be informed if you have been outbid.
Postal bids must be received by 23 May at the latest in the BDS office at The Walled Garden, Burgate Manor, Fordingbridge, Hampshire SP6 1EF. Download the postal bid form HERE.
If you win the auction for a lot, you can pay instantly by using PayPal or by contacting the BDS with cheque or credit card details. BDS will then write to you within seven days to put you in contact with the donor of the lot to arrange the details, etc.
eBay does not charge winning bidders any fees – you will pay only the exact amount of your winning bid. The seller (the BDS in this case) pays a small commission to eBay for hosting the auction.
