What BidRank is
BidRank is a public pay-to-rank leaderboard. You pay to sit where the dollar says. Rank is the amount paid. Nothing else. There are no accounts.
How ranking works
Bids are whole US dollars. Minimum is $2. After that, bids move in $1 steps. You cannot bid $2.50.
Paying less than the current #1 still lists you at the rank that amount buys.
If the same URL or @handle is already on the board, a new bid only charges the difference.
Ties go to the older listing. The one that landed first keeps the slot.
App Store, Play, and GitHub listings are keyed by path. Query strings are stripped.
What you can list
A product website or an X @handle.
No URL shorteners. No chat or invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal). No adult destinations. No localhost.
Affiliate and tracking query params will not survive.
After you pay
The listing is public.
Rank is written only after Stripe sends checkout.session.completed. The board does not move until that event lands.
Clicks leave through BidRank and pick up ?utm_source=bidrank.
Payment and chargebacks
Completing a purchase means you reviewed the listing and the price, and you authorize a one-time charge.
A completed payment is what claims the rank. The listing is the thing you paid for.
If a higher payment lands first, you still get listed at whatever rank this amount buys. That is not a refund.
If you have an issue, email support@bidrank.lol before opening a payment dispute or chargeback.
Nothing here limits rights that cannot legally be excluded.
