How AlrightRod earns money
AlrightRod is free to use. The site is funded by affiliate commission: when you click through to eBay from one of our listings and go on to buy something, eBay may pay us a small commission. You never pay more because of it.
Last updated: November 2026
In short: AlrightRod is a participant in the eBay Partner Network (EPN), eBay's affiliate programme. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy from eBay, we may earn a commission from eBay at no additional cost to you. We are an independent website and are not owned by, endorsed by, or sponsored by eBay Inc.
Our affiliate partners
We currently work with one affiliate programme. We will update this page before adding another.
eBay Partner Network
The affiliate programme of eBay Inc. Commission is paid by eBay, not by you.
What it costs you
Nothing. The price you pay on eBay is exactly the same whether you arrive from AlrightRod or go directly to eBay. Affiliate commission is paid to us by eBay out of eBay's own revenue, and it can never change the price you are offered, the postage you are charged, or the outcome of an auction.
All purchases complete on eBay, under eBay's terms and buyer protection. We never take payment, hold your money, or act as the seller.
Editorial independence
Commission does not buy placement. Which listings appear on AlrightRod, how they are ordered, and which rods we highlight are decided by our own discovery rules, classification data and editorial review — never by how much commission a listing might earn.
We do not accept payment from sellers or brands for inclusion, ranking, badges or "verified" status. A verification badge reflects administrator review of a listing, nothing more.
How we mark affiliate links
Affiliate links are marked wherever they appear, so you always know before you click:
- •Beside every eBay button — A short disclosure sits directly under each "View on eBay" button on our listing pages, together with a link back to this page.
- •In the site footer — The disclosure appears in the footer of every page, alongside the link to this page.
- •On this page — This page sets out the full relationship, in plain English, and is linked from every disclosure.
Affiliate links also carry a tracking parameter so eBay can attribute a click to AlrightRod. That is the mechanism by which commission is calculated.
Cookies and tracking
When you click through to eBay, eBay may set its own cookies on your device as part of its affiliate programme, and may share commission data with us in aggregate. We do not control those cookies, and eBay is an independent data controller for anything it collects on its own site.
For the cookies set on AlrightRod itself, and how to change your choice, see our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
Questions
If anything about how AlrightRod earns money is unclear, or you think a disclosure is missing somewhere on the site, please get in touch through the site's admin team and we'll fix it.
