Record Donation

You can record cash donations, and donations for "Donation" items, one at a time by selecting the item and the bidder, and then entering the amount.

To record a donation, open the Record bid, purchase or donation page and make sure the DONATION tab is selected. The default when selecting Bidding/Sales is the BID tab when coming from the main Auction Dashboard menu.
