What Is Wish?
Wish (wish.com) is an online marketplace for anything you can imagine. From hair extensions to selfie lighting, and laptops, its inventory seems endless.
Since its formation in 2010 by ex-programmers from Google and Yahoo, Wish's worth has soared to $8.5 billion.
It's famous for low price tags on so-called expensive items. However, the products don't come directly from Wish itself; instead, they're sold by different sellers. Wish only takes a portion of their profits.
