If you look at low price orders posting date, you will notice most of them are relatively older OR with zero feedback. The ones that with some positive feedbacks are genearlly in line with the price of the order posting date.
So it is more of a combination of old orders and scams.
1Still, how can you try to scam someone if you are to be payed by paypal? They can reverse the transaction, can't they? – o0'. – 2013-02-22T22:24:15.957
@Lohoris They can reverse the transaction if they're willing to risk being banned for life by PayPal. – David Schwartz – 2013-06-15T04:06:44.263
1I'm puzzled. They accept PayPal money, so if they try to scam you, you could reverse the transaction AFAIK... – o0'. – 2013-02-21T11:10:41.607

bcchanger doesn't sell coins at their own, they are just acting as a mediator where seller and buyers meet each other. Needles to say, spam rate is very high. – BTCPedia – 2013-05-06T17:13:09.263
