I'm not sure it would work on all sites, but I can absolutely see the benefit. Not everyone is up to posting an entire product review, more people may be willing to answer a direct question about the product. I think this is a great idea.

I would be very cautious in what gets added up there to avoid just junking up the page in addition to spam as you pointed out. A bike supply website that I often purchase from (http://www.pricepoint.com) has been doing this for several years now. They have general and product specific FAQ's on many of their individual product pages. Their Q&A's are obviously moderated, but in order to keep a ecommerce website as professional and relevant as possible, I think it's necessary.
