Board

Rules

The artbid board is a public ranking: you pay to stand above. The card is built from the link you send: title, text and thumbnail. The bid only counts after payment is confirmed.

How rank moves

• Bids are whole US dollars. Minimum $5, then $1 at a time.
• Paying less than #1 still puts you on the board at the rank that bid can take.
• Equal bids: whoever arrived first stays above.
• To raise your own listing, use the same link or the same @. You pay only the difference.
• To take #1, the bid must be at least $1 above the current top.

What can enter

• Artist links: YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Vimeo, Instagram, a site, or an @ on X.
• No chat invites: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Signal.
• No adult content.
• Shorteners are refused.

After payment

• The card is public. Clicks go to the URL you gave.
• The bid only counts after Stripe confirms the payment.
• Card in USD. Email is collected on Stripe Checkout.

FAQ

Can I pay less than the current #1?

Yes. Any bid of $5 or more places you on the board at the rank that bid can take — even if the top spot is far above you.

Can I raise my own rank later?

Yes. Submit the same link or the same @ and pay only the difference to your current bid.

Why do equal bids rank by arrival time?

The board favors whoever committed first. Ties are broken by created_at, so the earlier card stays above.

What happens after I pay?

Stripe confirms the payment, the card goes public with your link, and every click on it goes to your URL. The ranking updates immediately.
