While the service is "free" I wonder what kind of markup they add to prices for things they help you find?

I'm not sure about any markup, but that's a possibility. My immediate concern when I thought of using this type of service would be related to how much (i.e. zero) incentive there is for them to get you a decent price on something vs. just buying the first thing they see.
E.g. You call the concierge and ask them to send your wife some flowers - they call the first # they find and send the first bundle they see....or if you ask them to book you a hotel room on a short holiday - they have no reason to go scouring the local marketplace for the best deal (or the best room).
