I had a friend who was doing this. The way it worked is there was a secret FB group where items would be posted, and if you were up for reviewing the item you'd message the group coordinator who would send you money to buy it. You'd then buy and review the item. Initially you would only be reviewing small items ($5-$10), but as you gained more trust you could get more expensive items (not sure what the limit was). Some items even came with an additional $20 for doing a review. I cautioned them that what they were doing was a good way to get their Amazon account suspected (I didn't even think about their FB account) and they eventually did stop. Most of what they accumulated was crap, but there were a hand full of nice items - though thinking about it now, the only thing they got that I thought was cool was a decorative snail statue.
