It's like shopify.com backend with affiliates marketing from real retailers. Too bad the "real" retailers don't want to play ball. They already have affiliate marketing programs in place. So what do you have left in the market to do the fulfillment? Third rate retailers. @11 Amway is the brick and mortar version of Quixtar

This in turn helps the web community admin/ host generate revenue to continue the operation of said community. Amazon's stance could hurt them in the long run, but they certainly hold the pole-position currently.
