Affiliate Disclosure
What UsedLens does
UsedLens is a price comparison service. We automatically scan the websites of UK camera retailers and aggregate their used camera and lens listings in one searchable index. We do not hold stock, set prices, or process transactions — when you click a listing you are taken directly to the retailer’s website.
Affiliate links
Some of the links on UsedLens are affiliate links. This means that if you click through to a retailer and make a purchase, UsedLens may receive a small commission from the retailer. This does not change the price you pay. The retailer pays the commission from their own margin; it is not added to your bill.
We are participants in the following affiliate programmes:
- eBay Partner Network — as an eBay Partner Network affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases made on eBay after clicking through from UsedLens.
- Other retailer affiliate programmes — we participate in programmes run by various UK camera retailers. These relationships are disclosed in aggregate here rather than listing each individually, as the set of participating retailers changes over time.
How affiliate relationships work in practice
When you click a product link on UsedLens, our server logs the click and redirects you to the retailer’s website. For retailers where we have an affiliate arrangement, the redirect URL may include a tracking parameter that tells the retailer the visit came from UsedLens. If you then make a purchase, the retailer reports the sale back to their affiliate network and we are credited a commission.
For retailers where we do not have an affiliate arrangement, we link directly to their product pages with no tracking.
Does this affect our rankings or index?
No. Affiliate revenue does not influence which retailers are indexed on UsedLens, how listings are ranked in search results, or how we score or present any retailer’s stock.
Our search rankings are based on factors such as price, condition, and listing recency. We index retailers regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with them. Retailers without affiliate links appear alongside those with affiliate links on equal terms.
