About Us
This about us page introduces Smart Pocket Deals, a UK deals website. We publish buying guides that compare products on Amazon UK and eBay UK, with prices in pounds sterling (£), and we say on each guide the date those prices and stock levels were checked.
If you want the detail of our method, start with how we pick deals. Below are five honest facts about us, how we are paid, how to read our guides, and how to reach us.

Five honest facts about us
Here are five honest facts about us, written without invented team biographies, fake credentials or a made-up office address.
- We are a UK deals website, not a shop. We do not take payment or dispatch orders. You buy on the retailer’s own site, such as Amazon UK or eBay UK, under that retailer’s terms.
- We check the live price and availability on the day we publish a guide, and we print that check date in the article. Prices can change afterwards, so the live listing is the one to trust.
- We do not use “save X%” or “was £X” claims, because those reference prices are easy to inflate. We would rather show the price we saw and explain who the product is for.
- Deal guides are labelled #Ad. Some links are affiliate links, so we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. A commission does not change the price you pay and does not mean a product is the only option.
- This about us page, and the rest of the site, lists only https://smartpocketdeals.com as a contact address. We do not publish a personal name, company number or email here.
What Smart Pocket Deals publishes
Smart Pocket Deals writes short buying guides in British English. A typical guide explains who a product is for, picks out specifications from the retailer’s listing, and notes common points from customer feedback already on that page.
UK-focused, in this about us page, means we look at offers in pounds sterling on Amazon UK and eBay UK. We do not convert foreign prices, and we do not list marketplaces we do not actually check. Delivery estimates, plug types and guarantees are those shown on the UK listing.
If a guide mentions delivery, voltage or a warranty, those details come from the UK listing we checked, not from a guess about another country. That is part of keeping this about us page, and the guides themselves, accurate.
We do not claim to run a testing laboratory, and we do not invent star ratings, review counts or discounts. If we cannot verify a product on the retailer page that day, we leave it out. A guide is a shortlist with context, not a complete catalogue of every model in a category.
How we research the deals we write about
The full method lives on our how we pick deals page. In brief, we compare products on Amazon UK and eBay UK, we check the price and availability on the day we publish, and we read the official specifications and the customer feedback on the listing.
We also update guides when we return to a topic, repeating the same checks. Until then, treat the check date in the article as the last time we looked, and confirm the offer on the retailer’s page before you buy.
Advertising, affiliate links and independence
This about us page should be clear about money. Smart Pocket Deals contains advertising. Deal guides are marked #Ad. If you buy through our affiliate links, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, Smart Pocket Deals earns from qualifying purchases. We also take part in the eBay Partner Network.
A commission never changes the price you pay, and it does not mean we are paid to hide rivals. We choose what to feature. Our affiliate disclosure explains this in full, in line with the UK Advertising Standards Authority rules on making affiliate advertising obvious.
