For retailers: how card shops get listed

For card shops

Printed Price links buyers straight to sealed Pokémon, Disney Lorcana, One Piece and Riftbound product at independent card shops, at the price the shop sets. Local game stores and reputable online shops are a big part of this site. Many sell a little above MSRP, or at market price, and that is their call. The only shops we steer people away from are shady ones, or ones acting like scalpers.

Free, no sign-up. There is no fee to be listed. Buyers click through to your own product page and buy from you.
No paid placement. Shops can't pay to be listed, featured or ranked higher.
Every shop is reviewed first. We look at your website, contact details and independent reviews, and check that you ship orders, before listing a shop. Shops with a pattern of credible complaints are not listed. How we check shops is on How we choose shops.
What we read. Only the public product catalog your online store publishes. Nothing behind a login, and nothing else on your site. Our reader names itself PrintedPrice and links to this page.
What shows. Sealed Pokémon, Disney Lorcana, One Piece and Riftbound products (and Japanese Pokémon, labelled as imports), next to the maker's suggested price (MSRP) and how far over or under it your price is. "Show all" on a product lists every shop we show at a fair price for it.
See your own listings. Add your shop's domain to the Deals address, for example printedprice.com/deals?shop=yourshop.com, to see only your listings.
Getting listed. Email info@printedprice.com with your shop's website, or suggest your shop.

Our promises to shops

Same rules for every shop. Listing is free, and nobody pays for placement. Shops are ranked by price. When prices tie, a link to the shop's own product page comes first, and shops at the same price take turns from day to day.
Read lightly. We read only your public product catalog, regularly, and less often when you have nothing we cover in stock. If your robots.txt asks readers to skip your catalog, that takes effect from our next read. We never add to a cart, check out, buy anything or create accounts. How our reader works.
Show it accurately. Prices appear as we read them, before shipping and tax, with when we last checked. If a price or product of yours shows wrong, email us and we aim to correct it within two business days.
Tell you why. If we leave your shop out of a game or take it off the site, ask and we'll tell you why in plain words. When it's a judgment call, we'll try to tell you first and give you a chance to respond. A shop that has closed, a catalog that no longer works, a lapsed domain, or suspected fraud or safety problems can be acted on right away, and we'll explain afterwards.
Look again. Ask us to reconsider any decision about your shop. We'll send you the outcome and the reason.
Leave any time. Email us from your shop's email address to be removed. Removal requests are handled promptly, usually the same day. A robots.txt rule works without asking.
No relationship needed. Not replying to us, or never contacting us, changes nothing about how your shop appears.
Email is how to reach us: info@printedprice.com.

What we ask of big retailers

Part of the mission is pushing big retailers to protect regular buyers online. The stores that already do some of this show it can be done.

A fair line. A queue or a drawing for hot products, like Pokémon Center's waiting room or Walmart's collectibles drawings, instead of a race that bots win.
Limits that hold. Per-customer limits enforced across accounts, cards and addresses, not just per order.
Bots stopped before checkout, so real people are not left fighting cart errors.
Drops announced ahead of time, at hours when people are awake.
The price you add to your cart is the price you pay.
The store's own stock first. Reseller listings above MSRP should not sit next to the store's own on hot items.
Transparency about how much stock went up and how orders were allocated.

How each big store measures up today is on the store report card.
