Frequently asked questions

bidstar.lol is a public leaderboard where products, startups and social media profiles are ranked by how much they paid. The higher the amount, the higher the rank. There are no upvotes and no algorithm.

New listings start at $1. To pass any listing you pay $1 more than it, and to take #1 you pay at least $1 more than the current leader. The exact price and rank are shown before you pay.

Enter the same website or handle again and choose a higher amount. You only pay the difference between your current total and the new one.

All-time counts every dollar ever paid and never expires. Today only counts payments since midnight UTC, This week since Monday, and the Daily archive freezes each UTC day forever. One payment counts on all of them.

To outbid someone is to offer more money than they did. On bidstar.lol, when another listing pays more than you, it outbids you and takes your rank. Add your e-mail when you claim and we alert you when that happens.

Checkout runs on PayPal. You can pay with a PayPal account or with a debit or credit card, no PayPal account needed. We never see your card details.

No. All payments are final, including if you are outbid later, when the Today or weekly board resets, or if a listing is removed for breaking the rules.

Websites of products, services and creators you own or represent, and social media profiles. Private group invite links, adult content, link shorteners and anything illegal are not allowed.

Every listing gets its own indexable page on bidstar.lol. Outgoing links are marked as sponsored, as Google requires for paid links, so the value is visitors and visibility rather than SEO link equity.

Each visitor counts once per listing per day, without cookies. Bots and crawlers are filtered out.

Yes. The receipt e-mail contains a private link to edit the name, pitch and alerts of your listing.
