Not sure how these people make money.
Their prices are outrageous? I didn't think Ebates.com sold anything?!?

They are purely a middleman, collecting a commission from their various website "partners" then passing most of that commission back on to you. In theory its a solid business model, except there are too many players in that market for all of them to succeeed.
