What is a Personal Shopper and how does Wishabi work?
A personal shopper is like your shopping concierge. Instead of having to spend countless hours finding deals on things you want, you simply tell your personal shopper the things you want, and it goes to work for you.
A good personal shopper needs to be able to find you deals on the things you want. Furthermore, they need to know just how good a deal is when they find one. Wishabi uses the power of the deal-hunter community in conjunction with our deal ranking technologies to give you the ultimate personal shopping experience.
To find you the best deals, wishabi uses the power of the community and direct relationships with merchants. After you create your wishlist, Wishabi works with thousands of deal-hunters to find you the best deals online. Wishabi also works directly with hundreds of Merchants to negotiotate deals and sales for the items on your wishlist.

To help you decide on whether a deal is good or not, Wishabi has developed the patent-pending deal rank system. Deal-rank works by taking market pricing, user feedback and a variety of other factors to determine what a good deal is. Look out for the "Deal-Rank bar" to see if a deal is hot or not. A fuller bar means that the deal is hot, while a less full bar suggest an average deal.

Which merchants can I make money from?

wishabi.com
Hey, I can't get commission from Amazon deals, what's up?
Wishabi wants deal-hunters to be able to make money on all deals they post, however certain merchants such as Amazon have legal terms in our partner agreements which prevent us from providing commissions back to you. It's definitely not ideal, but it's outside of our control.. sorry!
On the bright side, posting any good deal will help increase your reputation score which helps to boost the visibility of all your other deals. It also helps other people, and that's always a nice thing to do. :)
Should I still post deals for Merchants that don't provide commission?
So you've just posted a deal that you can't earn commission for.. bummer! Not so fast! By posting deals, you'll get the opportunity to increase your Wishabi reputation score, this boosts the visibility of your other deals, and helps you to earn more money on the deals which do provide commission.
Also, posting good deals helps everyone in the community, and that's always a good thing to do. :)
How do I get paid?
You can request your payment when your balance is over $20. Simply click on the Payment button to get paid. We can pay via PayPal or by Cheque.
