I believe they get around the risk of lawsuit and the problem of inaccurate data by partnering with a comparison shopping engine such as Shopping.com or Pricegrabber. By hooking up with a CSE, they are only publishing what the Merchants themselves have sent out. Is it good for business? I don't think so. It may instill a little trust that they are being so transparent. More likely they do it to monetize on traffic leaving their site, just like they do with Google ads on their site. They get a cut of the referrals they send to other merchants (and some visibility into where their customers are heading). Buy.com has comparison pricing.
