Our Commitment to Transparency
At Barto’s Binder, we believe in complete transparency with our community. This page explains how we make money and how affiliate relationships work on our site.
How We Make Money
Barto’s Binder is a free resource for One Piece TCG collectors and investors. To keep the site running and continue providing valuable content, we participate in affiliate programs.
eBay Partner Network
We are a participant in the eBay Partner Network, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to eBay.com.
What this means for you:
- When you click on an eBay link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission
- This comes at NO additional cost to you – you pay the same price as you would normally
- The commission is paid by eBay, not by you
How Affiliate Links Work
- You browse cards on Barto’s Binder
- You click an “eBay” or “Buy on eBay” button
- You’re taken to eBay with our affiliate tracking code
- If you purchase anything (even different items) within 24 hours, we may earn a commission
- You pay the exact same price – our commission comes from eBay’s marketing budget
Our Editorial Policy
Affiliate relationships NEVER influence our content.
- We recommend cards based on their investment potential and collecting value, not commission rates
- Our Weekly Picks are selected using our value rating algorithm, not affiliate considerations
- We feature cards from all sellers equally – we don’t favor specific eBay sellers
- If we wouldn’t recommend a card to a friend, we won’t recommend it to you
Independence Guarantee
- We do not accept payment for positive reviews or recommendations
- We do not artificially inflate card values or predictions
- Our investment analyses are based on market data and One Piece story knowledge
- We track and publish our prediction accuracy for full accountability
