Refer & Earn

Share an auction. Earn cash when your friend wins.

Earn 10% when your friend wins and completes the purchase — up to $1,000.00.

They have to open your link before they bid. Rewards are held 14 days, cash out at $25.00, Canada only, paid by Interac e-Transfer after review.

How it works

  1. Share a listing with your own DoBid link. The person you refer has to open it before they bid on that listing.
  2. If they win and the seller confirms pickup and payment, your reward is created.
  3. Rewards are held for 14 days, then become available to cash out.
  4. Cash out once your available rewards add up to $25.00 or more.
  5. DoBid reviews each cash-out and sends it by Interac e-Transfer. Your bank may take additional time.

Who can earn

  • You need a DoBid account and you have to be signed in when you share.
  • You can't earn on your own listing, and you can't refer yourself.
  • The person you refer has to open your link before they place their first bid on that listing. A share nobody opens in time doesn't earn.
  • One reward per listing. The referrer is whoever's link was opened first.
  • Canada only. Cash is sent by Interac e-Transfer to a Canadian email address or mobile number.

An example

At the current bid of $120.00, a completed sale would earn $12.00. That's an example, not a promise — the final price can change and nothing is earned until the sale completes.

The most any single referral can earn is $1,000.00. Rewards are calculated on the accepted sale price, not on bids that didn't win.

$25.00

An example, not a promise. Nothing is earned unless the person you referred opens your link before their first bid, wins, and completes the purchase. Rewards are held 14 days and cash out from $25.00, Canada only, after review.

Getting paid

  • A reward is created when the seller confirms pickup and payment, then held for 14 days.
  • Cash out once your available rewards add up to $25.00 or more. Rewards add up across listings until you get there.
  • DoBid reviews each cash-out and sends it by Interac e-Transfer to a Canadian email address or mobile number. Your bank may take additional time.
  • You are responsible for any taxes that apply to referral cash you receive. DoBid may ask you for information needed for reporting.

What isn't guaranteed

Nothing is earned until an eligible sale completes. A seller can decline the top bid, a buyer can fail to complete, and an auction can end with no bids at all — none of those create a reward. You can't refer yourself, the seller can't earn on their own listing, and a share that nobody opens before the first bid doesn't earn.

DoBid reviews rewards for fraud and abuse and can withhold a reward tied to fake accounts, self-dealing, test listings, sales that don't happen, or duplicate identities. DoBid can change or end this program at any time going forward. Rewards you have already earned and had approved are not taken back.
