Traffic has been declining for Wigix now that they are out of beta.
Apparently very little if anything sells.
Why did everyone waste all of their time building a catalog? The amount of money being paid out is ridiculously minute (unless you like working for pennies).

Either Wigix will close by the end of the year or become nothing more than an affiliate site for Amazon.

The site looks promising, and I registered. However, I hit a very troublesome roadblock in the verification process.

The site asks for your PayPal account information, email address and PASSWORD! The site also wants your eBay member ID and PASSWORD!

This coming from a new site that has no trust built up. Additionally, NONE of the pages are secure. Not registration, not login, nothing. NO security, no encryption.

So, at least until I hear that SSL is implemented, I won’t be going back. The request for my PayPal and eBay passwords is the most disturbing part. Do the folks that run this site actually believe that the masses will entrust this sensitive data to them?

I will not.

I wasn’t asked for my paypal password – i was asked for my username so that the funds could be sent to that account – where did you see them ask for the password?
