Rules

universebid is a public leaderboard per celestial body. There are no ads, no API keys, and no revenue share. You pay to stand on a planet. Rank is the bid — nothing else.

How ranking works

New listings are whole US dollars, $1 at a time, up to $999,999. Every body opens at $1.
Taking #1 costs at least $1 more than the current top bid. Paying less still puts you on that planet's board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
Enter the same website or @handle again on the same body to raise that listing. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid; you only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your rank by paying that difference — they must pay the full amount as a new listing.
App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by their path, so different apps don't share a bid. Tracking query strings are ignored.
The Sun, eight planets, and Earth's Moon are independent boards.

What you can list

A product website, or an X @handle.
Chat and invite links are not allowed — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and similar.
Links to adult/illegal content are not allowed. Will be removed if found
Query parameters are stripped from listing links. Affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs will not work.
Link shortener URLs are resolved to their destination, then re-checked.

After you pay

Your listing is public. Opening it from this site sends visitors to the URL you submitted (query strings stripped, plus utm_source=universebid) and adds one click. Bots are ignored, and the same browser is not counted twice within an hour.
A completed payment is what claims the rank. Bids are final. No refunds.
Prices are USD. You are responsible for whatever your card issuer charges.
