This is so helpful, thank you 😭 I'm curious about OTAs, this whole time I thought they were for people to offer money but the journal you linked says you should always accept other kinds of payment e.g. points or trades - is that the norm? Also would people usually keep them open until they get an offer they like, or close it after a fixed time and pick the best offer? Oh and, would they then notify everyone who offered that they picked someone else?
Yup, most OTAs I see accept money and art. Some will also take character trades or robux lol. You don't always have to accept other types of payment, but if you're only looking for money offers, might as well make it a bid. It's obvious more money is worth more than less money so it's a bit pointless to make it an OTA. However, with art, every art offer has a different value and it's up to you to decide which one is the best.
People typically keep it open until they get an offer they like. For me, I kept my OTAs open for around 2 days to see all the offers before picking one. Some people like to respond to every offer with an acceptance or rejection comment but I just leave most of them in the dark 😅 If someone really wants to know if their offer was accepted, they'll just check back on the character to see who got it.
