Possible/permitable to do an Arena art raffle?

[ponyqueen]

Hello! Just gathering some info here...

I have a couple extra watercolor pony prints from the summer, so I'm thinking it would be interesting/fun to raffle them off here in the arts and crafts corral? It this allowable? I can't find anything in arena rules about it.

Also, how would one run a raffle (ie sell "tickets"). I've never done something like this before... not sure how folks would use paypal or something?

If this is totally forbidden- I apologize for inquiring, and no hard feelings.

All I know is you can't use Paypal for raffles.  At least, you can't use the word "raffle" when taking payments through them.  Having people send as gifts works, just don't say the r-word!

Yes, I'm afraid that unless you can come up with a way to sell tickets other than Paypal, we have to say no. Raffles per se are fine, of course, but there is that problem with Paypal's rules...

Thanks for the input ladies... I'm thinking maybe I can sell a cheap digital art graphic, and all buyers are eligible for a grand prize...?

So preferably paid as a gift, and note might say "For digital art". Buyers would be emailed a minor pony graphic, so there wouldn't be any possible shipping or delivery issues.

Then of course, names in a hat would come after...

Think this would work?

And more importantly, would anyone even be interested in a chance to win pony watercolor art?

That would probably be fine since everyone would get something in exchange for their money.

i would be in for a mini digital art for a raffle ticket to win one of your watercolors--it's probably the only way I could get my hands on one of your pretties!
