Their prices are kept artificially low to attract people's interest. They sell a bunch of 'buy it today, trash it tomorrow' plastic gimmicks. They force 3rd party vendors to sell at a loss, and rip off independent artists, even stealing product photos from other creators' sites in order to sell their knock-offs. Lots of false advertising tactics and greenwashing, including "buy more things so your parcel will be fuller, hence preventing GHG emissions by buying more crap"
