Am I the a$$h0le?? One of the winners is have issues collecting, still. Over a month later. I didn’t care then and I don’t care now.
Reasons why:
1️⃣ I gave them the option of what they want and they chose PayPal. It went through on my end so anything after that I really isn’t on me.
2️⃣ I assisted them with trying to figure out the options they had. They tried to get me to send it to someone else after they couldn’t cash out. I was willing until they wouldn’t send it back
3️⃣ After I started to become annoyed and frustrated will all their back and forth I told them to just send it back and I’ll chose someone else because it’s too much.
Now over a month later I got a message about the same issue if I knew how to cancel the payment and be done with it I would 🤦🏾♀️
Giveaways can often lead to unexpected complications, especially when multiple parties are involved. In many cases, the payment method like PayPal, chosen by winners, can impact the smoothness of the process. It's essential to ensure clear communication regarding payment options and to assist winners in understanding their choices. When conflicts arise, it can be tempting to shift responsibility, but keeping detailed records and user agreements can help clarify roles. Many creators have faced similar situations, where winners may not be responsive or face technical issues when collecting their prizes. It’s crucial to set clear deadlines for winners to respond, otherwise, you might need to select alternates if they don't comply. As a creator, think about implementing a follow-up system to check on prize collections, which could prevent prolonged delays and miscommunications. This will not only enhance the overall experience for participants but also maintain the integrity and trust within your community. Engaging with your audience through platforms like Lemon8 can guide others who might face the same challenges, fostering a supportive environment for creators and participants alike.
If I were you, I wouldn’t worry about it. It is your best and tried to bless others. Block them, and keep it pushing. They’re only trying to steal your peace.
