I got scammed in a similar way as well.
I go directly to AliExpress/Alibaba now, since a lot of the cheaper stuff I would buy on eBay was essentially resold from the same suppliers. Had nothing but positive experiences with those.
- gperkins978 3y agoI got scammed on AliExpress as well. It was for a $150 watch. The site went black after I filed the complaint, but AliExpress would not allow the return (it was like a fake version of a real watch sold on AliExpress, kind of like shipping a photo of the real item).
- ActorNightly 3y agoYou have to look at seller reviews and history. I only order from ones that have significant history.
- throwitawayfam 3y agopretty off topic -- Recently I have been getting acquainted with Aliexpress. For eBay, I look for significant history with over 99% positive feedback. For Aliexpress, is there a positive feedback threshold you hold yourself to? Recently I bought some 3d printer parts from TriangleLab (which I know is reputable) but they had a ~98% positive feedback rate which gave me pause.
- brokenmachine 3y agoI had a seller send me the wrong item on aliexpress. It was an IR remote control, they sent an RF remote instead (they look similar but operate completely differently). I filed a dispute including a video demonstrating the item being wrong. Aliexpress made them refund half the price, but it was their mistake and the item is of zero use to me, so it didn't feel good. I still order stuff on aliexpress because it's so cheap though...
