Support..I went ticket crazy thinking I was buying with gems and ended up using all 9 of my Giant Tortoises (and lost, ending up with nothing of course :P)

Support! I had somebody message me in a panic once because they entered with buffy balls that they had for their friend (I, of course, gave it back when the raffle ended)! But I can't imagine making that big a mistake and not getting it back. :c

I propose in addition to this: a time limit. Say, a little green bar comes up at the top saying "You have until ______ to cancel should you change your mind." Either a few hours or "until rollover." That way, people can't bail out at the last second of the raffle after being entered for weeks.

That's a good idea Nomashawn!

I support this, however, I respectfully disagree with Nomashawn. Coming from experience, sometimes you offer something in a raffle and end up needing it/regretting offering it days or weeks later, and if you no longer wish to participate in a raffle/want to take back your item, you should be able to. Since the tab for raffles you're participating in logs every ticket you buy, I think it should be an option to cancel specific tickets even if you have several others for the same raffle.

I was just thinking I think it would also be good if we could buy more than one ticket at once...like select multiple items and submit and get that many tickets. That way we wouldn't be spam clicking the same spot in the first place

Alex of the Moonlight: You make a good point. Raffles have a set ending time, don't they? When you make one, there's an "end on" date? Maybe a compromise between our ideas is that you can't cancel less than a day before the natural end of the raffle. That way, there's less of a last-minute cancel risk BUT people entering still have plenty of time to make their decisions unless they entered last-minute anyway.

Yeah it really sucks losing something worth lots of GB, because the market price is never the same for long.

I agree with time limit too, I'd hate to be running a raffle and have it automatically end with only 2-3 tickets bought. I also understand the possibly wanting to remove a ticket later on. Nomashawn's idea is great though for both to work.

The raffle is still going and I can't get it back

Support with the time limit idea.
I do think people should be able to undo mistakes and misclicks. Absolutely.
It's way too easy to give the wrong item in the current system and with some raffles accepting everything from feathers up to GMOs I feel there is a lot of room for human error.

However entering a raffle as you intended and wanting your money or items back in a week is not an error, it's a regret. Sorry but I don't think people should be able to get a refund on that whenever they want.
Imagine buying a bunch of lottery tickets and then trying to get your money back three weeks later from the store because suddenly you want that money back; reality doesn't work like that.

Plus it makes it hard for the person running the raffle. Are a bunch of people going to randomly withdraw their ticket after a week? Should they end it early and risk making less profit? Wait it out and hope a bunch of impatient people don't withdraw? What if someone else posts the same item for cheaper? That doesn't give the entrants the right to refund their tickets and go to the other raffle.

Mistakes are one thing but to prevent people from refunding intended ticket purchases I feel a time limit is necessary.

I support this! I just spend over 2k silver bugs on a raffle and now I regret it as i realized that I way over spend how much I was planning too

Yes! I just recently was buying raffle tickets with some junk and then all of a sudden I'd spent my buffy on a raffle ticket. The host was also nice enough to send it back once the raffle ended, but they just as easily couldn't have and I'd have lost a very valuable item.

Support...just donated a MOD on accident to a basic raffle and totally regret it. Also the fact this has been a topic since 2016 and we still don't have a option to retract a bid shocks me.
