Affiliate Disclosure

Amazon Associates Program

QingdaoShop is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

When you click an Amazon link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — typically between 1% and 10% of the sale price, depending on the product category. This commission comes from Amazon, not from you. You pay the same price whether or not you click through our link.

How This Affects Our Reviews

We want to be direct: affiliate commissions help us keep this site running, cover research costs, and continue publishing free content.

However, our recommendations are not influenced by commission rates. We do not accept payment for product placement, sponsored reviews, or favorable rankings. Our editorial process is based on performance, value, and user feedback — period.

If a product earns a higher commission but performs worse in testing, we rank it lower. If the best option isn't on Amazon, we say so.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly on every page that contains affiliate links. You will see a disclosure banner at the top of relevant pages and within article content where appropriate.
