Frequently Asked Questions

How is my leaderboard position determined?

Your position is calculated deterministically based on your verified paid bid amount. Higher bids receive higher ranks. If there is a tie, the product that paid first wins the tie-break.

What happens when someone outbids me?

When another product owner places a higher bid, your product automatically moves down to the next rank spot. You can boost your bid at any time from your dashboard or product page to reclaim your position.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payments through PayPal, which allows you to pay using PayPal balance, credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), and supported local payment methods.

How does the "Today" leaderboard reset?

The daily leaderboard resets at 00:00:00 UTC (Midnight UTC). Only bids placed during that specific UTC day count toward today's daily rank.

How do Outbuy Credits work?

When an external competitor outbids your #1 spotlight spot, you automatically receive 5% of their transaction in Outbuy Credits. Credits have lifetime validity (never expire) and can be used to reclaim rank. Credits are non-transferable, non-withdrawable, and cannot be earned by outbidding your own products.

Why should I make small micro-buys instead of one large bid?

outbuy.one utilizes cumulative stack bidding. Every dollar you spend permanently increases your product's lifetime total bid stack. Early micro-buys lock in your timestamp seniority for tie-breakers, keep you competitive in daily leaderboards, and allow you to defend your spot without risking large capital upfront.

Are bids refundable?

Because advertising space and rankings are delivered instantly and publicly upon payment verification, all completed bids are non-refundable. Please review our Refund Policy.

Does ranking on outbuy.one affect my Google search ranking?
