Real auctions, happening this second. Tap one and bid.
Running one takes about a minute
No install, no plugin, no account. If you can paste a link into OBS, you can run this.
Claim your address
Pick your handle and you get yourname.topbid.live, permanently. It goes in your bio once and works for every auction you ever run, so you never resend a link.
Drop the overlay into OBS
Paste the first link in as a browser source and set it to 1920 x 1080, the same size as your canvas. The background is transparent, so it sits on top of your scene and rides along to every platform you stream to.
Say your name out loud
Viewers go to your address and start bidding, no app and no account. Every bid hits your stream instantly, and the top bid at zero wins.
Built for the way you already stream
The parts that usually break a live auction are the parts we handled first.
🎥 Every platform at once
The overlay is drawn into your video feed, so TikTok LIVE, Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Facebook all show it. Nothing to install on their side.
🛡️ Safe to show on TikTok
No raw links on screen, just your own clean address like username.topbid.live. It reads like a handle, so there is nothing for moderation to flag.
🟢 You always know where you stand
Green means you hold the top bid. Red means someone just took it. Your phone tells you the moment it changes, so nobody has to squint at the stream.
⏱️ Every snipe gets answered
A bid in the last seconds pushes the clock back out, so a steal becomes the opening of a final round instead of the end of the show. Turn it off if you want the pure sudden death ending.
No new platform. No starting from zero. No robbery.
Every other way to sell live asks you to move, wait, or hand over half. This one meets you where you already are and leaves the money where it belongs.
Selling apps
A new account on a new app, and an audience of zero. Their algorithm decides whether anyone ever sees you. Years of followers count for nothing on day one.
Platform shops
Applications, product catalogs, shipping deadlines, account health scores, and policy changes that can shut you down mid-season. A part-time job before your first sale.
Platform cuts
Subscriptions split 50/50. Marketplace fees stack commission on top of card processing. The people who built the audience keep the smallest share of it.
TopBid.Live
Two minutes to your first auction. You keep 90%, all-in. Your handle, your existing viewers, on every platform you already stream to, with the OBS you already run. Nothing to move, nobody to rebuild, no fee surprises.
Questions people ask before their first auction
Short answers. If yours is not here, mail support@topbid.live.
How do I run an auction on TikTok LIVE?
Add the TopBid.Live overlay to OBS or TikTok LIVE Studio as a browser source, start your stream, and say your address out loud. The overlay is transparent and gets drawn into your video feed, so it is simply part of the picture. Nothing to install on their side.
What does TopBid.Live charge?
A flat 10% of a completed sale, and that 10% already covers payment processing, so you keep 90%. No subscription, no listing fee, no monthly cost. Cancelling an auction before it closes costs nothing.
Do my viewers need an account or an app?
No. They open your address on their phone, type a first name, and bid. No download, no signup. Only the streamer signs up, and that is what reserves the handle.
How do I get paid?
The winner pays through Stripe when the auction closes. We hold the money, then release it to you once delivery is confirmed: carrier tracking for shipped items, or the buyer confirming receipt of a digital file. That hold is what makes a stranger comfortable bidding high.
Which platforms does it work with?
TikTok LIVE, Twitch, YouTube Live, Kick and Facebook, all at once if you multistream. The overlay is a browser source in OBS, Streamlabs, Twitch Studio or TikTok LIVE Studio, so it rides along with the video wherever it goes.
What can I auction?
Physical goods you ship and digital files you send. Signed apparel, merch, collectibles, one-of-one pieces, and files like beat packs, presets or project stems. Every listing is one specific item, and the winner receives that item.
How is this different from Whatnot?
Whatnot is its own marketplace with its own audience, so however many followers you have elsewhere, you start at zero there and their algorithm decides who sees you. TopBid.Live runs inside the stream you already do, in front of the audience you already have.
Does it cost anything to bid?
No. Bidding is free and we never charge anyone for placing a bid. Charging per bid is a penny auction, which is regulated or illegal in a lot of places. Only the winner pays, once, at the price they bid.
What is username.topbid.live?
Your permanent address. Claim your handle once and it is yours: it goes in your bio, and it works for every auction you ever run, so you never resend a link mid-stream.
What stops someone sniping the last second?
A bid in the closing seconds pushes the clock back out, so a steal becomes the opening of a final round instead of the end of the show. Turn it off if you want pure sudden death.
