Board & bid rules

How rank is decided on every city × category board

outbidlocally is a public local leaderboard. Rank on each board is determined only by verified bid totals for that city and service category.

Boards

  • One board = one market + one city + one category
  • UK boards use EUR. US boards use USD. Currencies never mix
  • A bid on one board never moves you on another board
  • New listings can go live immediately; we may still remove abuse

Ranking

  • Highest verified paid bid ranks first
  • Free listings (bid = 0) appear after every positive bid
  • Equal amounts: the earlier successful payment that set that amount wins
  • Pending or failed payments never change rank

Bidding

  • Minimum bid defaults to $3 (USA) / €3 (UK)
  • Raise your total by paying only the difference
  • Duplicate listings of the same website on one board are blocked
  • There is no auction end timer in the current version

Payments

  • A bid is verified only after payment confirmation
  • Successful bids are generally non-refundable except where required by law or approved by the operator

Fair use

  • List only businesses you are authorised to represent
  • No misleading names, fake locations, or spam categories
  • Report problems via Contact
