▲ HOUSE RULES

The rules. All four of them.

Cheeky product, serious ledger.

MINIMUM SPOT
$1

Any spot starts at five bucks. Yes, even #1 — if nobody's defending it.

DECAY
−25%/wk

Power melts a quarter every week. Fresh money beats old money. Always.

OUTBID = SPENT
$0 back

Lose your rank, keep the receipt. This is a leaderboard, not escrow.

EXPOSURE ONLY
0% cut

We rank names. We never broker sales. Buyers click straight through to you.

domainsbid.lol sells placement on a leaderboard. It does not sell domains, and it never touches the sale. These are the terms you accept when you pay. Last updated August 2026.

THE MELT

Your ranking power decays 25% per week

Ranking power decays 25% per week. Your total paid never changes, but the power it buys you fades — top up any time to climb back.

Decay is continuous, not a weekly step — power is recomputed the moment anyone loads the board. Two numbers are shown on every listing: total paid, which is a trophy and never changes, and current power, which is what actually ranks you.

How ranking works

  • You pay, you rank. The listing with the highest current power is #1.
  • Ranking is always by current power. It is never by lifetime spend, never by asking price, and never editorial.
  • Minimum bid is $1. Bids are in US dollars.
  • Topping up adds the new payment at full weight to whatever your power has decayed to. There is no penalty for waiting, and no bonus for it either.
  • To pass someone you only have to beat their current power, not what they have spent in total. Old positions get cheap to take.
  • Ties go to whoever claimed the domain first.
  • Featured placements are a separate paid surface. They are labelled, and they do not change anyone's rank.

Payments and refunds

NO REFUNDS

All payments are final. There are no refunds — not when you are outbid, and not as your ranking power decays.

  • No refunds when you are outbid. Someone paying more than you is the product working, not a fault.
  • No refunds as power decays. You are buying a position that fades by 25% a week. That is the deal, stated before checkout, on the checkout page, and in the table above.
  • No refunds for a listing removed under the prohibited-listings rules below.
  • No refunds if you sell, transfer, park, or drop the domain after paying, or if your own landing page goes down.
  • Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
  • Charging back a completed payment permanently removes the listing and blocks the seller email from the board. If something is wrong, email hello@domainsbid.lol first — we would rather fix it.

What we never do

domainsbid.lol is an advertising board. It is not a marketplace, a broker, or an escrow service.

  • We never broker the sale. We take no commission on a domain sale and are not a party to it.
  • We never hold funds. The only money we accept is payment for placement. No escrow, ever.
  • We never verify ownership, price, or traffic. Anyone can list any domain. A listing is not proof that the seller controls the domain, that the asking price is real, or that any stat is accurate.
  • Sellers link to their own landing page or marketplace listing. Buyers transact entirely off-site, with the seller, at their own risk.
  • Buyers: use escrow. Verify WHOIS. Assume nothing on this board has been checked, because it has not been.
  • Rank means someone paid more. It is not an endorsement, a valuation, or a quality signal.

Prohibited listings

We remove these on sight, without refund, and keep the payment:

  • Trademark infringement — typosquats, brand impersonation, or any domain you do not have the right to sell.
  • Adult or sexual content, on the domain or on the page you link to.
  • Scams, phishing, malware, cloaking, or a link that goes somewhere other than the domain's own sale page.
  • Anything illegal where we operate, and anything involving sanctioned parties.
  • Link shorteners, affiliate wrappers, and redirect chains.

Report a listing to abuse@domainsbid.lol. Include the domain and what is wrong with it. Trademark holders: send the mark, the registration, and the listing — we act on plausible claims without waiting for a court.

Links, clicks, and disclosure

  • Every listing on this site is a paid placement. Every outbound link carries rel="nofollow sponsored". Bidding here passes no SEO value, and buying a spot to acquire link juice will not work.
  • Outbound links get UTM parameters so you can attribute the traffic in your own analytics.
  • Click counts are de-duplicated best-effort and shown as-is. They are a rough signal, not audited traffic.

Email and data

We use your seller email for receipts, outbid notifications, decay warnings, and to authorise re-bids on your own listing. We do not sell it. The newsletter is separate, opt-in, and one click to leave.

Changes

We may change these rules. Material changes get a note on this page and a new “last updated” date. Changes are never retroactive to a payment you have already made — except the decay rule, which is the same for everyone, always. Questions: hello@domainsbid.lol.

Fine. Where do I pay?
