Share great bikes.
Earn referral commission.
Introduce sellers and bring new buyers to BidBikes auctions. Earn a share of the buyer fee we actually collect.
20%
Listing referral
Introduce a seller. Have BidBikes assign your code to the bike before scheduling. You earn when that auction sells and its buyer fee is collected.
30%
Buyer referral
Share your personal signup or bike referral link. Your link saves the code after signup or login. It must be saved before their first bid. You earn on their first qualifying collected auction fee.
Current program split; your agreed rates are confirmed at setup. Only half of BidBikes’ collected buyer fee is available to collaborators. Listing and buyer shares together cannot exceed that 50% pool.
What could you earn?
A $6,600 sale with BidBikes’ 5% buyer fee produces $330 in collected fees. A maximum of half that fee is available to collaborators, shared between listing and buyer referrals.
- Listing referral
- 20% of $330 = $66
- Buyer referral
- 30% of $330 = $99
These amounts are commissions from the buyer fee, not the bike sale price or a buyer discount.

How payment works
Collected fees create pending earnings. BidBikes reviews the retained fee, then arranges a manual payout with you. Refunds or disputes can delay or reduce earnings; timing and payment method are agreed with BidBikes.
Know before you share
New buyer invitations last 90 days from the first captured link visit (or manual code entry). The first eligible bid must be within that window; the auction can close later. Buyer credit applies only to the first qualifying purchase. Buying through your own code does not qualify. Marketplace listings are excluded.
An existing saved referral stays in place when another link is opened. Before signup, link tracking uses the same browser; once saved to the account, it travels with that account. Existing saved referrals retain their displayed expiration dates.
Sharing tip: Link to your personal referral URL and tell your audience that you earn a commission on qualifying purchases. For seller introductions, have BidBikes confirm the listing assignment.
