Lots of Amazon product descriptions are written in bad Asian English and they must know by now their product would sell better if the description was written in bad American English. But they don’t bother to hire a translator.

If you look at my post just above yours, you'll see that there's a reason. If they are too good with no mistakes, they'll potentially grab a whole new, smarter set of targets that will ultimately not fall for it, and will end up wasting their time. I've heard/read that they intentionally leave in little mistakes to catch just the right target group that is easier to take advantage of.
