Event this accommodation is for

✓ Free to post — live until event date ✓ Pay only when you get a real enquiry ✓ Keep 100% — zero commission

Posting is free. The one-off listing fee is only charged if a runner messages you and you want to unlock the conversation to reply.

The fee also keeps BibBuddy running and helps keep scammers out — a real card and a small charge are a barrier bad actors won't cross.

Accommodation type

Nightly rate optional — leave blank to negotiate in chat

A$ / night

Listings with a price get significantly more enquiries — guests hate asking.

How close is it?

Closer to start or finish?

For point-to-point races (London, Sydney) this matters. For loop races, "either" is fine.

Notes

Listing photos (up to 3 · strongly recommended)

Listings with photos get significantly more enquiries. Show the room, bathroom, and location.

Payment recovery

Only if a Stripe payment succeeded but the webhook didn't apply it. Confirm the payment in the Stripe dashboard first — this grants the effect without taking payment. Enter the user's email, or paste the user/listing ID from the Stripe payment's metadata.

Never miss a match

We'll email you the moment a matching listing is posted.

The moment a matching listing is posted for your event

💡 Bib listings for popular events sell within hours of posting. Most runners who miss out say they just didn't see it in time.

✅ Use the official transfer portal — Race Roster, Update My Entry, or ACTIVE

📅 Check the transfer window is open — most close 2–4 weeks before race day

💬 Agree price in chat first, then transfer via the official portal

🚩 Red flag: anyone asking for direct PayID or bank transfer — report immediately

💳 Pay any deposit with a method you can dispute — PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card, never bank transfer or Friends & Family

🏨 Meet or verify the space before paying the rest

💵 Remainder on arrival — once you're happy with the place

⚠️ Never pay the full amount upfront to someone you haven't met. Use in-app chat until you've agreed everything — then meet in person to verify the space before final payment.
