Pay only if you win

Bid for a rank. Pay only if you get it.

On many pay-to-rank boards you pay first, and the next payer can push you down seconds later. Here a losing bid costs nothing, and a winning one buys a rank nobody can take for 24 hours.

Hold, then charge, or release

  1. You bid. From $5, in $1 steps, on the next cycle. Checkout places a hold on your card — no money moves.
  2. The cycle closes. The ten highest bids take ranks 1 to 10.
  3. You won: the hold becomes a charge the moment your 24h tenure starts, when the rank, the duration and the price are all known.
  4. You lost: the hold is released. That is not a refund — nothing was ever taken.

Questions

Am I charged if I lose the auction?

No. Checkout places an authorisation hold on your card, not a payment. If you are outbid before the cycle closes, the hold is released. Nothing was taken, so nothing has to be refunded.

When exactly is my card charged?

At the moment your 24-hour tenure starts, and only if your bid won a rank.

How long do I keep a rank?

24 hours, guaranteed. Nobody can displace you during your tenure, however much they bid; new bids compete for the next cycle.

What if my product is rejected?

The hold on your card is released at the moment of the decision. You are never charged for a product that does not appear.

Every rule is on the rules page, and why a hold rather than a payment is on about. Advertising a halal business? Start here.
