According to checks by the Post on Wednesday, five pounds of fresh raw shucked oysters from Chaozhou in eastern Guangdong were being sold on Pinduoduo for as low as 79 yuan (US$11), with free shipping to Hong Kong included.
According to shopper reviews, the oysters were delivered in a vacuum-sealed container and packed in a styrofoam box with a few ice packs.
Frozen beef short ribs cost as little as 7 yuan per steak, while a tray of 50 fresh eggs costs 27 yuan.
Other listings include frozen chicken breast, raw marinated seafood and frozen whole fish and frozen herring sashimi fillet.
