> Both times they caved and gave me 100% refund and told me to just keep the broken item. This is because eBay will ALWAYS side with the customer, and the seller will get a ding to boot. Never ever do a return with Chinese sellers, they will use it against you and you will lose your chance to dispute the transaction. If you are sold junk complain to the seller, then if they don't refund you go ahead and raise a dispute. If they offer a return then ask them to refund you ahead of time, in full, and to provide a label for the return.

Case 1 Packages lost, no track’n’trace one vendor sent order once more for no charge, another om gave a 50% discount Case 2 Product defect, returned it and later received the refund (matching their t&c) Case 3 (different, but shows customer service is working as expected) Wrong item received Full refund received In all cases I initiated a dialog, not just posted a bed review (‘keeping the leverage’) So maybe SOME Chinese shops misbehave, but for sure US and EU shops are similar… AliExpress is the shop in question… Just don’t think all are the same !!!
