Rules/Details:
Gift Certificates may not be awarded to an EtsyMetal Member. Each person can only win one time. Gift certificates must be used in entirety at one member's shop - no splitting of the $50 will occur. No cash will be 'refunded' to the winner. The winner will work directly with the seller/etsymetal member of their choice. EtsyMetal will transfer the $50 to the seller/member's shop when the transaction has been agreed upon. If the amount is over $50 the winner will be responsible for paying the seller the balance (unless otherwise discussed with the seller). If the amount is under $50, no cash or credit will be given to the winner. There is no technical expiration date, though we encourage winners to shop soon while all our members are sprucing up their shops and putting items on sale!
