1. N-UNCOUNT A Pyramid scheme is a method of selling in which one person buys a supply of a particular product directly from the manufacturer and then sells it to a number of other people at an increased price. These people sell it on to others in a similar way, but eventually the final buyers are only able to sell the product for less than they paid for it. 金字塔式销售 (指价格逐级提升地转售产品，最高一级只能低于进价销售)[商业]

The pyramid scheme was marketed through a home page on the World Wide Web. 这个金字塔式销售是通过万维网的一个主页进行交易的。
