📜 Rules
Current points are visible now. June 2026 is a testing month, so June winners do not receive rewards.
1 bid point is awarded for the first bid a collector places on an auction lot during the month.
Additional bids by the same collector on the same lot do not earn extra bid points.
1 purchase point is awarded for every €1 of paid auction-won item value when the auction lot both ended and was paid during the same UTC month.
Only paid auction wins in Processing or Completed orders count. Buy Now purchases, shipping, taxes, and auction wins from previous months paid later do not count.
To qualify for a reward, a collector must press the Join this month's challenge button and remain participating when the month is finalized.
Joining late still counts that collector's eligible bids and eligible paid auction wins from earlier in the same UTC month. Leaving opts the collector out of rewards for that month unless they join again before finalization.
A collector must also have at least one paid auction win during the month to receive a reward.
If a top-3 collector did not join or has no paid auction win, that prize is not awarded and is not passed down to another collector.
In case of a tie, ranking is decided by highest purchase points, then highest paid auction purchase value, then earliest challenge participation date.
Real rewards begin from July 2026 UTC. Rewards are paid by MineralBids via PayPal: 1st place 3%, 2nd place 2%, 3rd place 1% of that collector's monthly paid auction purchases.
Challenge winners must use the Claim Reward button within 10 days after the end of the UTC month and provide a valid PayPal email. After 10 days, the reward expires and is not reissued or passed down.
Rewards are paid outside the order system. They are not coupons, order discounts, or order refunds, and they do not reduce seller payout or seller sale value.
Leaderboard identities are anonymous. Each collector receives a private competition ID, and public tables show only total points.
MineralBids may remove fraudulent, abusive, cancelled, refunded, or manipulated activity from the challenge.
The challenge uses UTC calendar months, matching MineralBids auction timing.
