Everything about bidding, outbidding and ranking on ProductsBid.
ProductsBid is a public, pay-to-rank leaderboard for products. Anyone can claim a spot from $1 and outbid competitors to climb. The higher you rank, the more buyers, users, and press see your product first.
It is a board where products bid real money to hold a rank. The product with the highest bid takes #1, and every other paid bid sits at the place its amount can take. Bids are one-time payments, not subscriptions.
To take a rank, your bid must exceed the current holder’s bid by at least $1. For example, if a rank holds a $49 bid, you can claim it for $50. Paying less than the #1 price still puts you on the board at whatever place your bid can take.
Equal bids are resolved by payment time: the first person to pay takes the higher position. Bidding early on a price is always safer than waiting.
New spots start at $1. A new spot is the next rank after the last listed product (for example #6 when 5 products are listed). The minimum bid is $1 and the maximum is $99,999.
You will receive an email the moment someone outbids you. Your bid is not automatically renewed; you can raise your bid at any time to defend or retake your rank, and raising requires a new payment.
Every time a visitor clicks a product link on the board, the target domain’s counter increments. Counts are shown next to each listing and power the “Top clicked right now” panel. We do not store IP addresses for clicks.
Once a bid is paid and your rank is live, the bid is non-refundable unless we cannot display your product (for example if we remove it for policy reasons, in which case we refund the unused portion).
Nothing is charged. The pending spot is freed automatically within 30 minutes, or you can retry checkout right away with the same domain.
Use the claim form on the homepage: enter your site, email (optional), category and bid, then pay through Stripe. Once payment is confirmed your listing goes live instantly with a unique page at productsbid.lol/p/yourdomain.
