# Affiliate Disclosure
_Last updated: 20 April 2026_
This page exists so you know, up-front, where the links on this site lead and how we get paid.
## Affiliate programs we participate in
### eBay Partner Network
**TCG Companion is a member of the eBay Partner Network (EPN).** Whenever you see a link on this site pointing to an eBay listing — whether it's a card tile on a set page, a card in a blog post, or a "Check eBay listings" button — it's an affiliate link.
If you click one and then buy something on eBay within the cookie window, TCG Companion earns a small commission from eBay. **The price you pay doesn't change** and the commission comes from eBay's margin, not from your pocket.
Required disclosure: *As an eBay Partner Network affiliate, TCG Companion earns from qualifying purchases.*
### Vault X binders
The **Vault X** banner across the site (and the *"Use code TCGCOMPANION for 10% off"* promo) is an affiliate referral. If you buy a Vault X binder after clicking through from this site, TCG Companion receives a small referral commission. Using the discount code gives you **10% off** at vaultx.com — that saving is real and paid by Vault X, not by you.
## What affiliate revenue pays for
Commissions fund hosting, development time, and keeping [TCG Companion the app](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/tcg-companion/id1536768130) free to download and scan with. They do not influence which cards we feature, which sets we cover, or the rankings inside any guide.
## Editorial independence
The content on this site — blog posts, rare-card lists, pricing context — is written independently of our affiliate relationships. We don't promote cards, sets or products because an affiliate pays more; we cover what we think is useful to collectors. Price ranges quoted in blog posts are estimates based on public sold-listing data and reflect a point in time, not a guarantee of future value.
## Price data
Market prices shown inside the TCG Companion app are sourced from **PriceCharting**. eBay links on this website point to live listings and sold listings on eBay at the time of your click — not historical prices we store. Prices on eBay can move fast, so always verify the current listing before buying or selling.
