Quick fit
Consider MPB when your readers want to compare an exact used camera or lens, sell an existing setup, or trade equipment. Its US affiliate invitation covers customer buying and selling, with different advertised rewards.1
The useful content angle is the decision: which unit, which accessories, what condition and what happens if an inspection changes the selling quote? MPB’s customer terms allow revised valuations; a quote is not a guaranteed final payment.3
This profile is document research. We have not tested equipment, completed a sale or confirmed an approved Affiliate Orchard account.
Separate buying from customer selling
| Offer | Advertised terms and limits |
|---|---|
| Customer-buying baseline | 2% base rate. Confirm the accepted commission base, eligible orders, deductions and validation; the public invitation does not provide that schedule.1 |
| New customer sells gear | $10. A customer-selling reward; the new-customer definition and completed-sale qualification remain Unknown.1 |
| Returning customer sells gear | $5. Confirm customer classification, inspection/validation and reversal rules before forecasting rewards.1 |
| Tracking | Seven-day cookie window advertised. Click priority, cross-device credit and buy/sell attribution details remain Unknown.1 |
| Tier-two and recurrence | Unknown. Higher rates for a publisher’s own performance and customer-selling rewards do not establish recruited-affiliate sales commissions or recurring credit.1,2 |
Affiliate cash terms are incomplete: payout minimum, method, currency, fees, validation delay and closing-balance treatment were not established in the invitation or public Partnerize signup extraction. The customer-selling amounts are advertised in dollars; that does not settle the full affiliate payment schedule.1,2
Follow the seller transaction
This is the customer’s equipment sale, separate from affiliate commission payment.3
- 1. Describe and ship
Get a quote for the exact model, cosmetic condition and accessories. It is valid for 14 days from quotation. Use the arranged courier, suitable packaging and collection proof; the customer pays packaging costs. Courier availability outside the 48 contiguous states is case-by-case.3,5
- 2. Review inspection
MPB may change or cancel the quote after checking the gear. Following a revision, the seller can request return before MPB issues payment. List additional non-original accessories separately: unlisted extras may receive no value and may not be returned if the transaction fails.3
Do not leave a quote unattended. The agreement gives three months from checking to supply correct bank details, and three months from an adjusted-quote email to accept or decline it. It reserves ownership or disposal powers for missed responses; missing correct bank details can lead to ownership without payment.3
Ownership wording conflicts: section 4e describes transfer after payment clears; section 4j(iv) describes transfer when MPB processes or schedules payment, even before clearance or with incorrect details. Clarify the actual transaction before proceeding. We have not resolved the contractual interpretation.3
Remove personal files from gear before shipping; MPB’s terms put that responsibility on the seller.3
A used-lens decision worksheet
Hypothetical reader task: replace an everyday lens on an existing camera. The example is MPB’s Canon RF-S 18–45mm f/4.5–6.3 IS STM model and used unit 4194403, checked October 8, 2026. It illustrates what to check, without promising that unit remains available.6,8
| Decision | Evidence to collect |
|---|---|
| Exact body and purpose | MPB describes the model for Canon APS-C R-system use. Record your exact body and intended photos/video, then confirm compatibility and whether this focal range answers the task; we have not tested the pairing.6 |
| Individual unit | The selected unit carries MPB’s Like new cosmetic grade. Treat it as the merchant’s assessment; inspect the unit-specific photographs and ask about unclear marks or function. Cosmetic grading is not our optical test.8 |
| Included accessories | This unit lists a 49mm front cap and RF-fit rear cap. Check the actual order’s contents; do not assume a hood or other accessory is included or definitely absent merely because it is unlisted.8,3 |
An original comparison can explain keeping the existing lens, choosing a used unit or buying a new kit. The B&H profile offers a separate new/used-retailer comparison; compare the actual equipment and conditions before the commission.
Keep customer limits visible
These are MPB US customer conditions, not a worldwide offer or affiliate-country whitelist.3,4
| Customer decision | Material conditions |
|---|---|
| Return a purchase | Notify MPB within 14 days of receipt, obtain authorization, then dispatch within seven days of cancellation notice. Same-condition items, invoice and contents matter; use tracked, insured, signed-for return shipping. Ordinary return freight is the customer’s cost. An MPB-error label is covered only within the 48 contiguous states; original shipping and import duties/taxes are not refunded. The unit page’s short free-return headline needs these qualifications.3,8 |
| Rely on warranty | Six months from initial purchase, first purchaser only and nontransferable; keep proof. Replacements retain the original period’s remainder. Stated faulty spares/repairs, batteries, wear/misuse and subjective lens-sharpness complaints are excluded. MPB chooses repair, replacement or refund. Warranty return-label shipping is covered within the US, with customer-paid packaging; outside-US shipping is excluded.4 |
| Trade in gear | The customer terms require quote agreement and arranged inbound shipping before reserving the purchase. If the trade-in purchase is returned after completion, the original sold gear is not returned; the cash value is refunded instead.3,5 |
Plan permissions before publishing
MPB advertises affiliate creatives, but its platform terms separately grant personal, noncommercial access and restrict copying, pricing/model-database reuse and automated extraction without the required permission. Obtain the actual affiliate material licence and permitted traffic rules before building a photo-heavy catalogue or price feed. A signup page is not permission to reuse merchant photographs.1,7
Next step
Read the official MPB invitation and its Partnerize application destination. Before accepting, confirm your country/channel eligibility, buying and selling qualification, complete rate base, attribution, payout/exit terms and creative permissions. No application has been submitted or relationship approved for Affiliate Orchard.1,2

Sources and open questions
Official pages checked October 8, 2026. Customer terms display July 28, 2026 as their effective date; platform terms display June 24, 2026. These are distinct customer/platform documents, not an accepted affiliate agreement.3,7
Complete affiliate economics, eligibility and downstream credit remain unresolved. The dated unit example is merchant documentation, with no firsthand equipment, shipping, quote, tracking or payment test. Sources are listed below.
