It is true... the owners of this site make a TON of money off what they are selling... I mean if 100 people bid for an item (making it a $1.00 for you) they are making. 60 for each bid... so $60 for them... but every business goes in to make a profit. HOWEVER, YOU make a profit too... I only bid once on a $25 gift card to a place I would have shopped and spent money at anyways... I got the gift card for 5 cents! So. 05 plus my. 60 bid plus $2 for shipping means I got a $25 gift card for $2.65 so made a profit too... yes, they make their money but so what if it benefits you?
