In early tests of our sign up process, one volunteer was heard to say, "Bleah! This feels like it was made by a bunch of computer geeks!"
Guilty as charged. /sheepish grin
While we update our sign up process, here are a couple of walkthroughs we put together to make the signup tasks easier. Each walkthrough can be completed in five minutes.
Sign Up Walkthrough - Create an account to donate your own items to raise money for a cause, process dropoff items for a cause, or sell items for yourself.
Create A Cause Walkthrough - This walkthrough continues where the "Sign Up Walkthrough" leaves off. It will show you how to set your account up so that the public can donate to it.
Important: Giggil.com and StuffRaiser.com require separate email logins. This means that you need to use a new email account for StuffRaiser, OR you need to use the "+" alias format if your email host supports it. Gmail and Hotmail both support it.
An example: myemail@gmail.com or myemail@hotmail.com can be adjusted to read something like:
myemail+<anything you want>@gmail.com or myemail+<anything you want>@hotmail.com
myemail+sr@gmail.com or myemail+sr@hotmail.com would work to sign up with at StuffRaiser.com, and both would send email to your normal account. Try it!
