outbid.storerules
The whole mechanic in a few short rules.
1. Rank is the bid
Your position on the board is determined only by how much you've bid. There's no algorithm, review process, or popularity score. To move up, you need to bid more than the store above you.
2. Outbidding is instant
Anyone can take your spot by bidding at least $1 more than your current bid. As soon as a higher bid is placed, the leaderboard re-sorts and your store moves down.
3. The minimum bid is $5
New stores can join the board with a bid of $5 or more. There's no maximum bid.
4. Bids aren't refunded when you're outbid
Your payment covers the position you held while your bid was active. If another store outbids you, your previous payment isn't refunded. See the terms for the full payment terms.
5. One listing per store
Each domain gets one listing. Don't submit the same store multiple times to appear in different categories. If you need to change your categories, contact us instead.
6. We can remove a listing
We may remove stores that are fraudulent, illegal, misleading, or otherwise violate our terms. A listing can be removed regardless of its current bid.
