Epinions explain their Income Share program here: http://www.epinions.com/help/faq/?show=faq_earnings
It's important to understand that they don't pay for Express Reviews. Like MyLot, they don't have a 'per post' payment and purposely remain vague about how exactly the earnings are calculated. This is to prevent 'gaming' the system.
You may find this article useful: http://www.epinions.com/content_1184997508 Note that it stresses that you won't get rich from the site and that earning money should NOT be the most important part of writing reviews on Epinions.

hey, owlwings i feel this site is little bit spam type not fully spam. They didn't explained the way of getimg paid well. It mean to me from their codtions of what they pay on what basis they pay is terrible. If they look that the review had made contribution in purchases then they pay. But no body can say whether he influnces one to purchase or other influnces. It not the purchase but the review is mean for it only but they say it must be some what general to let uaer conusmer in helpping them decide to purchase. I didn't belive if they think to pay.
It would be pure time waste to se there.

Unless you can write good English and are good at and enjoy reviewing, then I would agree that it is probably not the site for you.
I suggest that you look carefully at the definition of 'spam' in your dictionary or online. The term simply doesn't apply to the site at all ... and nor does the word 'scam' (which I believe that you may be confusing it with).
The payment method is very similar to that of MyLot. If you produce good quality content, then you are likely to be paid well. If you produce nothing of value, then it will not be worth your while.
