for 2 cents ? literally! for a ds lite stylas. Why is their shipping usually free even on items that sell for crazy low prices? ive got lots of stuff from flashlights, radios , and sd readers for dirt cheap. Isn't china great! poor worker slaves though? :(

For feedback, absolutely. They sell cheap things to gain their feedback score. Not only the sellers but buyers also do that too. They buy cheap thing so they can get positive feedback from the sellers. Actually if your stuff is below 1 dollar, you don't need to pay for ebay fees. Cheap labor wage may cause the price lower. But trust me, most of the stuffs they sell doesn't even worth it.

I have done alot of business with China as I run my own retail business and more and more products are being made in China. As stated their high population means they have more human resource and lower wages so they can make things faster and cheaper. However sometimes this interferes with quality control on some items however China has gotten much better with that. I have been finding that China is making a lot of top quality items primarily steel for knives and swords. I am curious to know how this will effect the world market.

All i know about China, except for their very low labor cost, is that then dont have patent registry, w/c means they can duplicate anything without violation to the patent holder/owner, in such a way they have very low production because they dont spend that much on research, they just dismantle the ipad then copy it and now they have the iped w/c is only $140
