Accordingly, you will be able to pay the deposit directly through eBay, and we will invoice you for the remaining balance (yes, even when it's $1.00).Q: Can you hold the boat longer than seven days?A:  No. ItsDonated requires the winning purchaser to pick up the boat within seven days of auction close (unless otherwise noted above).Q: Can I see the boat/inspect the boat/contact the marina before I win?A:  No. In order to respect donor privacy, we do not provide any donor contact information to anyone except the winning bidder following payment.  This includes boat location, marina information, etc.  Additionally, the IRS rules that govern donated auctions require the transaction to occur at arms-length.  Accordingly, we cannot and will not provide any individual with more information or access over another prospective bidder.Q: Can I pay with a check or cash when I pick up the item?A:  No. ItsDonated only accepts payment through Paypal.  In limited circumstances ItsDonated will accept a money wire of funds. Please call if this is your preferred option.Q: When is ItsDonated open?A:  ItsDonated is located in California and is open Monday thru Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm PST. ItsDonated is closed for all federally recognized holidays, which are listed above. All questions are generally answered the following business day.Q: Can I Purchase a Vessel that is Not Local?A:  We STRONGLY recommend only purchasing local items. While you can purchase any of our vessel listings, local purchases allow you to see the boat before transporting and give you an opportunity to inspect the vessel without incurring substantial cost. Only personal inspection will qualify for a full refund.  Statements by marina employees and the like will not be accepted as valid representations of the vessel.  ItsDonated will not reimburse any costs or travel expenses associated with moving the boat (including but not limited to gas, lodging, purchase/rental of trailer, airfare, outside consultation, survey, etc.).Q: Do you provide shipping?A:  We do not provide shipping.  While we are not affiliated with any shipping companies, we recommend you contact KF Sales and Services, LLC at (727) 424-4782 for transport costs.  They are DOT and MC licensed and all they do is move boats.  We strongly recommend purchasing local so you can personally inspect the boat because once you move the boat, it is yours and you will not receive any refund for any claims.  Please also check out www.shipitweb.com for alternate shipping options.Q: What happens if the boat is not as described?A:  If the winning bidder arrives and the condition of the boat is grossly different from the listing description, do not move the boat and do not take possession of any documents.  Take clear pictures of any discrepancies and message us the photos in full resolution through eBay.  We will not refund a deposit without photos of the discrepancies (verbal statements will not suffice for a refund).  Marina testimonies of a vessel are not acceptable.  Once you move the boat, it is yours (see terms and conditions). Q: What happens if my payment is late?A:  ItsDonated relies on your timely payment as does the donor.  Late payments will be subject to the filing of an unpaid item, relist of the vessel and/or an additional late payment fee.  ItsDonated understands unforeseen circumstances do occur so please call us if you are experiencing a payment issue.
