Funding

One revenue line, stated where you cannot miss it

This desk is paid when a reader leaves for Kabosheet and that visit is credited back. Nothing else pays for it. That is the whole arrangement, and the rest of this page is about its limits.

Last substantive change

What the arrangement is

When a page here sends you to Kabosheet, that visit may be credited to this desk. It costs you nothing extra, and it does not change what the catalogue shows you. The catalogue is run by different people, who neither write nor approve anything on this site.

This desk does not sell items, does not take orders, does not hold stock, and cannot see your account anywhere. Anything you buy, you buy from the third party that sells it.

What the money does not buy

The four things a referral relationship could plausibly distort, and what happens here instead.
Could buyDoes not buy
A better verdict on a tool that reports an unfavourable numberTools report what the arithmetic says. A weight comparison that makes an order look expensive keeps saying so.
Silence about a stage where an action has already closedStage pages mark actions as closed at the stage where they close, including when that is bad news for the order.
A softer description of a platform’s published restrictionsPublished rules are quoted, including restrictions that make a platform look stricter than its peers.
Removal of an entry that says an order is not worth placingAt least one answer on the doubts page says a single cheap item often is not worth the fixed costs. It stays.

What is never accepted

  • Payment for a placement, a ranking or a verdict. No agent appears on the agent pages because of an arrangement, and the pages carry no ordering that implies one.
  • Payment to remove or soften a published rule. If a platform’s own page states a restriction, that restriction is described.
  • Payment to publish a coupon code. This desk does not publish codes at all, because a code cannot be verified without placing an order.
  • Display advertising, sponsored posts or affiliate insertions into body text. Outbound links sit in fixed positions on each page type, which are listed below.
  • Sale of reader data. There is nothing to sell: no accounts, no forms, no stored submissions. See the privacy page.

Where outbound links sit

Outbound links are not scattered through the text. Each page type has fixed positions, and they are the same positions on every page of that type — which is what makes them checkable rather than hidden:

  • The navigation bar and the footer, on every page.
  • Once near the top of a topic, stage or agent page, and once in the closing block of a note.
  • Beside the result of a tool, and once in the notes under it.
  • At the end of a doubt answer, and only where that answer has a catalogue equivalent.
  • Once on each of the privacy and terms pages, at the foot, deliberately quiet.

Outbound links open in a new tab and are marked as sponsored in the page source, so that neither a reader nor a search engine has to guess at the relationship.

The test you can run

Find a page here that reports a cost, a deadline or a closed door that makes an order less attractive — then ask whether removing it would have made this desk more money. On this site the answer is usually yes, and the sentence stays anyway. That is the only proof this page can offer, and it is a better one than a promise.
