Put your shop in front of buyers
TCGping helps European collectors find the best price on sealed product, then sends them to you to buy. Here's how it works, and how to reach us.
Free, ready-to-buy traffic
Shoppers reach you already knowing the product and the price. Listing costs nothing, and there's no exclusivity.
We never take the sale
TCGping is a comparison tool, not a marketplace. Every checkout happens on your own store, on your terms.
You stay in control
Want in, want a price fixed, or want out? One email and it's done, usually within a few days.
How we list stores
We track publicly listed prices and stock for sealed trading card products from trusted European retailers, then convert everything to a comparable EUR price so shoppers can compare fairly. For every purchase we link straight to your store. We don't copy your full catalogue, we don't undercut you, and we don't sell anything ourselves.
Our checks run on a polite, rate-limited schedule and respect each site's crawling preferences. If your prices ever look out of date, the quickest fix is a short email so we can re-check.
Show the badge on your shop
Free and optional. The badge links to your page on TCGping, where shoppers see your prices next to other European shops. Paste this code wherever you like, for example in your footer.

About our crawler (TCGpingBot)
Prices and stock are read by TCGpingBot. It identifies itself with the user agent TCGpingBot/1.2 (+https://tcgping.com/for-stores) and signs every request with Web Bot Auth (HTTP Message Signatures, Ed25519). Our public keys are published at /.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory, with Signature-Agent: "https://tcgping.com".
- It reads only public pages: your sitemap, and the product pages of sealed trading card products we list.
- It checks your sitemap first and only re-reads products that changed, so a typical visit is a handful of requests, a few times per hour at most, one request at a time.
- It follows your robots.txt (rules for
TCGpingBot, else*), including Crawl-delay, re-read daily. - It stops for the rest of the round as soon as a site asks it to slow down (HTTP 429), and honours Retry-After.
- It never adds to cart, checks out, logs in or submits forms.
Questions, or want us to stop reading your shop? Email stores@tcgping.com and it stops the same day.
