Rules

IGbid is a public Board. Rank is the Active total. Nothing else.

How ranking works

New Listings start at $1. Whole US dollars only. Max target is $9,999.
Taking #1 costs at least $1 more than the current top Active total. Paying less still lands at whatever Rank that target can take — except targets that would overtake #1 by less than $1, which are rejected.
The amount you enter is your target Active total. New Listings pay that full amount. Owners already on the board pay only the difference to reach a higher target.
Equal Active totals keep the older Listing above.
Each Bid stays Active for 30 days from payment, then drops off. IGbid does not auto-renew. IGbid does not refund.
If Creem reverses a payment, that Bid stops counting and Rank can fall.

An Instagram account, an X account, or a website. One Canonical URL is one Listing after normalization.
Bare @handle means Instagram. Use x/@handle or an x.com / twitter.com profile URL for X. Ordinary websites are keyed by origin (one site → one Listing). App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar platform links are keyed by path. Tracking query strings are ignored.
Chat invites, shorteners, phishing, NSFW, and malware are not allowed. Shortener hosts are rejected at submit time; they are not expanded. Profile posts and status URLs are rejected — use the profile itself.

You must sign in to Bid. The first paid Bid on a Canonical URL becomes the Owner. Only the Owner can add Bids or edit Name, Blurb, and Mark.

The Listing is public on the Board.
Clicks leave the Board for the Canonical URL through a hop that counts once per click.
We email the Owner before an Active Bid expires. Rank falls when that Bid drops off.

IGbid is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
