This is how the "junkscam" works:A seller buys a load of junk electronic or other gadgets for about 25 to 99 cents each.Now these items are listed at what seems to be a great price-maybe 99 cents.But the shipping is usually $4.99 or $5.99-still seems to be a good deal compared to similar items being sold for more money.Now this is where the scam comes in: the shipping cost is where the seller is making the profit!When customers complain about the junk they receive, the seller will gladly refund the 99 cents but shipping is non refundable so the seller still makes his profit on the junk! And how many buyers are going to spend the money to send the junk back for a 99 cent refund? If buyers leave bad feedback, the seller can always claim he offered a refund in good faith! Beware of small items at great prices that have shipping charges that are several times the price of the item!Complain about junk and leave negative feedback so other buyers will know about these junkscammers!
