The two faces of Aliexpress

If you like to buy in China, surely you already knowás Aliexpress, but if notí Don't worry, I'll explain it to you.

Aliexpress It is a place where sellers like thisáindependent ticos sell their products at very good prices, let's say it's like a Ebay or a Amazon chino. You have a great search engine where you can write what you are looking for and it will appearán all vendors who sell what isás looking for, each one with its prices and conditions.

This is an optionón foundáto find suppliers of ANY products you are looking for, on Aliexpress they sell everything, it is ideal for smallñyou sellers like us, in the case that you were a great distributor, it was better to opt for Alibaba.

The good thing about this página is the great variety to choose from (if you are not indecisive), spaghettiéThey do not have a payment system in which the seller does not charge until youú You do not receive your purchase at home and you check that everything is correct.

I have bought several times on Aliexpress and my personal experience is good, I have received everything correct although alsoéI don't have to say thatún thaté sellers the quality of the products leaves much to be desired, so if you find a good seller I recommend that you always buy with él.

But Aliexpress has another hidden side, the first is the big núbunch of scammers out there. If we compare with stores like Ebay where the íscam index is míYOU, on Aliexpress it is not like thatí, you only have to search in Google and you will see.

There are several ways of scams, a very common one is to pay for your order and have your seller disappear, Another is to place your order and have the seller send youé the package with artídamaged or disastrous quality items, I have even heard of some scam in which the seller charges meás to the buyer.

To all this I ask myself a question ¿The seller is not supposed to get paid until the buyer gives the go-ahead? ¿Cómo is possible then this?. When you see yourself in this situationóin the úonly recourse is to use the feedback with the seller, which in the majoría of cases tells you to send himíis the parcel back to china (not exactly cheap) and then he will enter youá half of the money. Aliexpress in these cases washes its hands and ignores the situation.ón.

Another thing against Aliexpress, very important, is that you can not pay with Paypal. This is one of the things that IáIt makes buyers distrust and even more so makes them backwards.

As you have seen, Aliexpress is a double-edged sword, Very powerful, but very dangerous at the same time. Remember when you boughtéis thoroughly analyze the seller (antigüage, feedback from former buyers…) and good luck 😉

I leave you hereí a news from theñO 2011 where they talk about the topic.

  1. hello everyone, Well, I tell you, I have bad luck because they scammed me I bought two hard drives I have 2tb ago 3 months and as I saw that they did not arrive I did everything to get a similar item or the money, but without any result neither by aliexpress nor by the seller who just sold me the hard drives disappeared, i contacted aliexpress several times and they pass me by, They send me to chat with a robot that has neither head nor tail and at the last minute I do not receive concrete answers. They are thieves and I don't know what I'm going to do. I will give it all up for lost I will not buy more online

  2. be careful with this page, you have to control a lot, I buy a lot in all the pages and unfortunately in aliexpress my scam ratio is one 35%.
    most of the time I have to be pending denouncing and in the end they sometimes return the money, but watch out, when they scammed me they didn't give me anything back,my experiences: once they returned me less than what I paid and the other times they sent me a cell phone that had nothing to do with what it was supposed to be, well nothing lost the money, another mobile the same, they scam you when you pay enough, for me the worst page half of the sellers are scammers. be careful, my advice is that to buy something for one euro you can play it, but as you pay more the scam is safe.

  3. I bought a diving light, good appearance, but bad result, the very willing seller sent me another, and with the same result, The seller is very attentive but his products are worth nothing, he asks me to return them, but it costs more than €48 for shipping, that is, lost the euros of the purchase
