There is an article this morning in the San Francisco Chronicle talking about how sellers sell (pretty much give away) items in return for a high score and other companies selling the service of giving sellers high ratings...Unbelievable.
Except the pictures likely mean nothing. If they are selling something for a dollar, and they are selling it from China, they are likely selling it at cost, and making money on the shipping charges. Even a margin of just a couple dollars in China is very good.
