I have bought a lot of stuff on both Ebay and Aliexpress. Ebay has better support when i receive junk/defective products. Ebay is also faster in handling the dispute. I have multiple orders on AE that was defective, and i provided evidence, but they did not agree that it was defective. So i did not get my money back. You are not 100% safe on AE. Also the chat robot on AE is a joke.

[@Justininurmum]

Ebay removed all there support options

[@Terry_M]

Ditto. They were good at first, but I have lost the last few "not as described" disputes, or they wanted me to return the item to china, at several times what I paid for the item. The vast majority of sellers are honest, but a significant percentage are not. I will not order from them anymore. ebay may cost more, but they have always honored my returns, in the very few times I have had to do that.

One fact about aliexpress: discounts are BS. whenever there is a discount on literally ANY product, The shipping price is all of the sudden extremely high as if not to compensate for the discount. Even in general when there is no discounts, you will find some products which are suspiciously cheap, and only when you click on it you find the shipping fee skyrocket. It’s extremely annoying.

[@rocky_m27]

FOR REAL I had a 50 dollar budget on something, and I found something perfect for what I was looking for. boom. 70 dollar shipping.

[@jceggbert5]

Sometimes that works to your advantage if you need many of something.

[@DJgregBrown]

Same with Ebay alway edit the P&P into the gross cost of the product.

[@Lorcan_Caradoc]

Not really to be fair. I think it matters on the product. Free shipping and a discount has happened on there towards some purchases I made. Look in the filters to change the prefrences and buy an item. You I feel probably bought an item that was towards what you wanted but it didn't have what you needed upon discount and shipping. That was your choice. So now the money you paid them upon your purchase is your fault cause you didn't read. Be smart, read carefully and buy if it suits how much you have to pay.

[@Lorcan_Caradoc]

@@ThatGirl-tg7wd If you never bought anything from AliExpress. Then you haven't had many experience with them as a store. However doing some research upon what you want is important and to find recommendations. Read the description and reviews before making a purchase too. If you don't do these thing's first then yes you will probably be scammed however that is your fault for trusting those individual sellers. I have had my stuff shipped...no defects nor returns made so far. No issues. So I wouldn't say it is a 100% scam. Just gotta be cautious and intelligent on what you should make purchases on.

[@TheGreatest1974]

Ali express items go missing in the post mainly because the WRITING on the PACKAGES is so TINY, and easily rubs off. They should definitely make the writing larger. It seems EVERYTHING is a money saving thing- even down to the amount of INK on packaging!

[@billphillips110]

Awesome video!! Very good presenter! I got into hobby electronics and decided to give aliexpress a try as they offered the lowest cost on the myriad of resistors, diodes, capacitors, etc that I would need. I also order from the $1.99 sales on a weekly basis so I always have 2 or 3 orders being shipped at any given time. So far everything has exceeded my expectations.

[@kattiew1133]

Buyer protection is kind of fishy.... If you order two of something and only receive one of two items, you'll NOT have any compensation. It happened me! The tracked parcel contained the package with only one item. Since they see that the order has been delivered, you can't do anything!

[@kickrocs]

Uh uh not true open a paypal dispute

[@Jock-pl8ey]

And how exactly does someone do that if they didn't pay with paypal? It's pretty obnoxious to claim that what this person said is not true, the chances of them posting an honest comment are much higher than the chances of them lying.@@kickrocs

[@missbettyboop2509]

​@kickrocs that's if you paid by PayPal..and that's a mu h longer cumbersome process. I wouldn't want to purchase from any platform that makes me go through my banks dispute just to get a refund when things go wrong

[@madsav4815]

That's not true, i have ordered multiple sensors and only got one. I have received a refund for those that didn't arrive. Even after you receive the items you can apply for refund/return. I think you may not have looked into the site very well.

Their customer service flip flops and send you in circles. I ordered two TECH reels for my tape deck. The tracking was poor and unclear. It took over 4 weeks for it to arrive. 😢The package was reported delivered and I never received it. The merchandise cost over $50.00. I wasn’t reimbursed for the loss shipment after the claim was filed. They kept running me in circles until they said the time was up to file a claim. The shipping department is very shady..

[@Dean-Sala]

Buyer protection is rubbish when they don't actually ship it, or send something else that is lost along the way and the refund button doesn't even work. They side with the fake vendor who then in turn close down their advertisement page as they already got their $200 or whatever for a product that never existed. Beware. I've been using Aliexpress for over a decade. The support is rubbish.

Buyers protection 🤔 I've purchased a tool and received a cheap sponge. AliExpress closed my dispute in favour to seller as I received goods. Total BS as I didn't order a piece of sponge.

[@macs7009]

Their customer service is bascially non-existent. There is no phone number. Their "buyer protection" doesn't always protect you. I received an item that was not even close to the pictures described. However, my refund was denied. There is definitely a huge risk, as opposed to the more well known online retailers that have been around for a long time. I basically got sammed and I have no recourse except credit card dispute.

[@davidmustaine2921]

yeah just go to bank get a chargeback is best way getting your money back, I did this cause I have no faith in Aliexpress to refund me for large amount of money I lost to a scammer on there... they were trying to pull a fast one on me and trying to get me to tell my bank to stop the Chargeback, ummm yeah Hell to the No! and they were just trying to make themselves look good by banning the Scammer, but they froze my order and just were giving me the run around, Paypal also sided with them cause I couldnt show credit due for Refund but I appealed it after they closed it and showing Paypal how Aliexpress giving me run around but I doubt this will go my way and sometimes wonder if Paypal even look at Screenshots. Scumbag Chinese clown Company Aliexpress are though... Its also important to show your bank screenshots if there is no communication from seller on Aliexpress and also show nothing has been sent, Most Banks will have your back in situations like these when you go to the fraud sector of a Bank.

[@archiechow6677]

Aliexpress has very bad reputation.

[@Lorcan_Caradoc]

Some people are scammers and yes you might not receive the actual thing or you recieve nothing and customer service cannot do much if you buy from them. Be careful upon who you trust and this goes towards any app. It ain't just for AliExpress, many other apps too.

well Paypal did go my way and gave me all my money back, Paypal should just break any ties with Aliexpress, I know they are in partnership and broke it off before Paypal obviously sick of cleaning up the mess with Ali...

[@erikamcmahon3155]

I have ordered craft supplies like stamps and metal dies and been very happy. I received 1 stamp set with a few things spelled incorrectly but that was my mistake because the photo was correctly showing the misspelled words and I didn’t catch it. I now pay more attention. If I contacted the seller they probably would have refunded me given the order size but it was only a few dollars and I could still use some of them. A few dies haven’t cut perfectly or had a little imperfection but again the cost of the item was negligible so I didn’t worry about it. I’ve also ordered croc jibbitz and been extremely happy with them. Other items such as cheap necklaces and earrings for my teen daughter who loses them easily, sleep masks, small appliance cord keepers etc have all been great purchases. I would not buy anything I needed to last very long or wanted a quality product. Shipping to WA is generally 2-3 weeks with my longest being 6 but that was an anomaly. I definitely recommend trying them. Order 1-2 things with free shipping and see what you think. Then order more if it works out.

[@TheGraveDiggersWorkshop]

Very helpful.Thanks (liked and subscribed)

[@KevinsHope]

Very good, very comprehensive video. I would disagree with the 100% safe statement. It may be very safe, but there are some issues. First of all, it takes sometimes 2 months for you to get your order in the states, due to the slow shipping speed, which isn't really a complaint for me by itself. But the problem is that sometimes the established time for returns has nearly or already elapsed by the time you get it. I had a problem with some missing pieces and, I tried to deal with the seller, who said he was mailing them to me right away, but those parts never showed up, and, while waiting for them, the time for me to report him or give him a negative review had elapsed, nor could I just request a refund because we were 4 months out by that point. I had to buy the parts to finish the item on my own.

THe hustle with AliExpress is that most products seem good upfront, but in a couple months deteriorate quite rapidly. By then, it might even be too late to submit a review. I really get tired of people saying, "Looks great, but I haven't tried it yet." Useful idiots say things like that.

About 3/4 of the paid value. Why is that so?

I bought alot of stuff including a battery on March 8 I received everything the same month except the battery. The whole time I wasn't able to track the battery then I contacted the seller he gave me a whole different tracking number different from the one on alixpress and a different websites since that day(march 27) till this moment it's only being showing the same thing (arrived at facility) I've reported and complained several time I got frustrated. The seller told me I won't be able to tell it's gotten to my post office and I won't receive any email or call I just have to go to the post office to make inquiry. Long story short it's been almost 2 months I just left the post office 30 ago still nothing. I guess I got scammed

[@roysigurdkarlsbakk3842]

I bought some SCD40 modules from Aliexpress and they arrived quickly, fine, and they worked, that so I just went on with the project, which was a parttime thing. After a couple of months, I picked it up again and let the module run stably for some weeks and noticed it was drifting slowly upwards in co2 measurements without any external cause. I tried to add another module, which started out like the first, but followed about the same slope of climb. I tried to switch to low power mode, measuring co2 only twice per minute, which reversed the drift to negative - for both parts. I even tried a third one, bought from another seller, same result. I talked to people online and explained it and was reassured that this was not the correct behaviour. There's a clause in the original manual about recalibrating every week, but that's for very precise measurements. This was around 50-100ppm or more per day. So - it was impossible to find the error before the timeout for the purchases, which ended up at $150 or so.

[@mikropower01]

To turn off the auto-calibrate mode, all you need to do is send a 0x0000 command to the 0x2416 I2C register with a 0x81 check byte. You can save this setting using a 0x3615 I2C command.

Been shopping a lot, but again, it’s about using your gut feelings. Even when buying simple stuff, I seldom goes for the lowest bid, but try lo pick something in between and has at least “on paper”, some thumbs up. Only been ripped off once and for a cheap product that was of great importance though. The seller sent me the absolute wrong item even though I had checked and confirmed beforehand what I wanted. Wrote a sour comment that was deleted by the seller and it was too late to file a complaint and not much money. I also had ordered some expensive goods that never arrived and got the message “on its way”, until it was obvious it wasn’t. AliX customer service was very helpful and I got my money back, even though the seller had refused to take any actions. Anyhow, this video is very helpful, especially for those doing their first purchases from Chian (a China made electronic component had the text “Made In Chian” - that sounds very reassuring …. 😊).

You buy a product without tracking and yet you see that it arrived in your country, then it arrived in your city, then back to the capital, then back to your city...Fake tracking or maybe many parcels with the same number, the best method of scam. If you complain, they will close it on the grounds that the product has already arrived in your country and the problem is with you in your country.

THANKS FOR SHARE! let me ask to you... When Dispute situation, ¿may AliExpress Judges to get inside to 'CONTACT TO SELLER MESSAGE HISTORY' to check how deal was build? I mean, what buyer ask, what seller promisses? so no need to take screen capture/recorded as evidence? Thanks to you!

[@boostv8chevy457]

hi, so you have a video wich explain wich way to sent money to china?

[@rebeccaabraham8652]

Been buying from Aliexpress for about 3 years - and in that time, there’s only been one time I had to open a dispute - over an 8” android tablet. It was supposed to be a ‘top-end’ tablet but what was shipped barely qualified as a ‘bottom-end’ device that you’d find by the tills at the local supermarket. That was resolved fully within 10 days - and the rest of the products have all been fine - exactly what I ordered - even all the other electronic devices!

[@SarisLT]

Please if you respect your time and money do not order from AliExpress it is not worth your nerves and your precious time, now they are not respecting their customers anymore. I am not buying anymore from them. Because it is a filthy business without any concern about our customer rights. I ordered one item from them but they didn't send it to me or send it but not to the right address and now they just ignore me every time I text them or just write to me that the item just already sent and it's my problem and concern that I didn't received this item which completely a lie from their part and not my responsibility apparently they send the item to other neighboring country and by their understanding it is my mistake. So as I understand we don't have any customer rights we are just plainly people who have money and are vulnerable and they are just using us, scamming us because it is convenient to do this with us their customers.

props to u my guy thank u man

[@1mantiss1]

Funny thing about ae is that when ur product doesn't arrive they ask for proof for the refund, like what proof am i going to give u if the products not there lmao

[@thericedude.]

You are able to buy straight off of alibaba even through the website or messaging the seller.

[@processandbeing]

Thanks for this video. I made my first order (making sure to check reviews & seller history, etc) and received a defective product. It arrived 10 days before the latest shipping date so I filed a complaint right away and then waited several days for the dispute to be approved. The product is now on its way back to China and I'll wait for a reimbursement. The only real bummer is the hassle of returning it and the risk that they won't want to pay the shipping (which wound up costing almost double the product's price PLUS shipping).

[@Durkio99]

Have you got your packages now pls ? I also wants to try this Aliexpress

[@processandbeing]

@@Durkio99 yeah, I've had several successful purchases. The main thing I've found is that you NEED to check how many of that item the seller has sold. If it's over 1000 then they're reliable to deliver. Then check reviews to see if that whality of what's delivered is any good. I've gotten cabinet locks, corner guards for furniture, a Miyoo Mini+... Some other stuff I've forgotten about

[@mahdimuhson3933]

What the process if I want to start up with you guys .

[@killaskrilla5320]

Good informative video. Salute

[@hsksnskej9642]

I always have had a very good experince when buying from there, idk what these comments are about😭

[@aif1502]

I've been shopping from this website for a few years. on a rare basis receive a product that was not well made, like clothes not well sewed or cheap jewelry missing a piece. most of the stuff I found are average to great quality and cost about 1/3 of what I could found locally. save lots of money budget wise and able to afford some entertainment and guilt-free shopping for fun and hobby. items that are not met the quality standard are like below $1 or at below $5 range. in which case I kinda placing the order anticipating it may not be exactly as expected. never had an order not arrived on time or remotely different from what's described in the advertisement. just defect product in worse case scenario. haven't encounter an identity theft.

[@TheRealNewWhirledOrder]

Recently, most of the things I order from aliexpress either aren't what they're described to be or they arrive broken. I will never order from them again.

[@liligibson8457]

I don't use aliexpress any more, why? 1) slow shipping, it took 1-2 months to get what you bought 2) I have received fake seeds and bad quality products, there is no customer service that allows you to return the stuff you bought, no communication with seller. 3) There is medicine I ordered from them last Oct ,2022 and I haven't received it yet , now it is July 1st 2023. I tried to complain to their customer service, but no feedback. Too bad!

[@TheTruthSeeker756]

Medicine? You’d have to be crazy ordering medicine from China

[@kerrymunns3948]

My husband bought a guitar and it turn up with a crack on the guitar, plus black paint splatter and chips on it. He has been trying to get a refund and Aliexpress has not given a return label and causing my husband so much stress. We are still waiting for return label and it hasn't been provided

[@haydnpreston6816]

Can you not report sellers to ali or anything like that to get their shop removed? These people that are scamming you, thats illegal can we do anything?

[@GaryYoung-eq1ph]

If sounds 2 good 2 b true it is!!!

[@oppenheimjm]

Very good video. I’ve bought a few times from Aliexpress successfully and was glad to see I wasn’t making a mistake. Very well explained.

[@grbggaming6885]

Bought a few tools fr9m AliExpress and there are definitely branded ones on there, and idk if it was different a year ago but they ship items from the US now. Never had a problem.

[@lizm8782]

Awesome video! I have bought from aliexpress before the company upgraded. I had a good experience with their business even back then. Mad respect for your culture. You are one of the most unified, peaceable, honorable and lethal blood lines. I love working with your culture. One of the hardest working people in the world. I can't wait for God to bring you forward ❤️

[@shawnpan9248]

I am a freight forwarder from China, my name is Shawn, and I have been specialized in freight forwarding for more than 10 years，any questions about import and shipping you can ask me😃

[@Jakuras]

You probably don't know, but is the rubiks cubes company moyu legit on there?

[@user-iz7gw2ev1c]

I have a question ? I’m new to alley express so is it like OfferUp ? Or Amazon ?

[@JJ-jt4ji]

On 2 different occasions AE overcharged my account by 100. Usd. They eventually put the money back but would not tell me why they overcharged.

[@inker1972]

I used PayPal to buy a jacket..will I receive it?

[@lunadepuna9563]

When u said Alibaba i got an ad of it on yt one min after

[@jsenear]

I have been using AliExpress for two years and have never received a bad item. Probably because I do most of what this gentleman is suggesting. My average delivery is two weeks and the packaging is adequate for the method of shipping.
