[QUOTE="Denver Dave, post: 55896, member: 3122"]As far as I can tell, it's a "finders Fee" set up... You find them customers to buy there items ( they have two pages of "buy it now" auctions going on now ) they kick back $10.00 to you... PayPal started this way four or five years ago, for every one of my customers on Ebay I got to sign up for a PayPal Account I received a $10.00 kick back and so did the customer. Great deal for everyone I got $10.00, the customer got $10.00 and there were on fees on transactions at all. Ebay was beside them self's once it took off and band all PayPal links on any auctions but it was to late to stop the landslide so they purchased the company and now PayPal is a Ebay Company and charges a 3% fee for the service... Keep in mind it was a win/win situation for the seller & customer and PayPal had some big money behind them to bank roll the deal. This dose not appear to be such a good deal as you have to pay $25.00 to have the privilege to promote there products to your friends & family, personally I would not get involved but it's perfectly legal as far as I know as long as they pay the finders fee...
