Drive targeted traffic, maximize hammer prices, and earn back your ad spend.
Why we built this program
In K-BID’s early days every sale carried a $5 k+ campaign—and the results built the half-million-bidder audience we enjoy today. Platforms and tactics have evolved, but one truth remains: the bidders who care most about an asset have to know it exists.
Your auction already benefits from K-BID’s brand-level advertising, but broad reach alone can’t guarantee we’ll find the two people on the planet who absolutely need your item. To bridge that gap we’ve created an à-la-carte marketing menu run by K-BID’s in-house team and backed by a revenue-share rebate.
How it works in four steps
-
Choose your budget & tactics
Work with our marketing team to pick the channels (e-blasts, banner takeovers, paid social, niche lists, etc.) that best match your assets. -
Launch & optimize
We execute, monitor, and tweak the campaign while you focus on inspections and bidder questions. -
Sell & settle
After close-out, paid invoices determine final Buyer’s Premium (BP). -
Receive your rebate
For every $1,000 in BP K-BID collects, you earn a $100 credit—up to $1,000 per auction and never more than your actual ad spend. The credit appears on the next BP invoice once all invoices have been processed within that auction. You will see the detail of which auction and the amount for each rebate. -
Quick math examples
| Ad budget submitted | BP collected | Rebate you receive* |
|---|---|---|
| $ 400 | $ 1,500 | $ 100 |
| $ 800 | $ 6,000 | $ 600 |
| $ 1,500 | $ 10,000+ | $ 1,000 (max) |
*Rebate equals the lesser of (a) your total campaign spend or (b) $100 per $1 k BP, capped at $1,000. For larger auctions with bigger budgets, please contact us to discuss potential options.
Fine print (but important)
-
Budget approval required before launch.
-
BP is calculated from paid invoices only.
-
K-BID controls channel mix and timing to ensure best ROI.
-
Rebate applies only to the identified auction.
-
You’re free to run your own ads outside this program (no rebate).
-
Seller-funded budgets count toward the rebate, but the seller doesn’t need to know a rebate exists.
What you—and your sellers—get out of it
-
Bigger bidder pool, higher closing prices.
-
Zero guesswork. Our team handles creative, targeting, and spend management.
-
Professional recap report you can hand to the seller with the settlement packet—proof of effort that wins repeat business.
