It is not a matter of IF they will cheat you, its a matter of when. The Aliexpress Scam: We will promise buyer protection to trick you into trusting us, then we will steal your money when you order. It is an organized corrupt system of separating buyers from their money, and leaving us with no recourse. The asian sellers in china have been increasingly sending us their seconds, knock-offs, and just plain garbage; Tricking US buyers by using stolen product images (other asian sites such as WOTOBA have entire businesses set up to do this.) The asians in China give the good products to their own citizens and pawn off all of their garbage on sites like Aliexpress & ebay. They will ship you any junk they have on hand, knowing that the price of returning it will exceed the refund of your money. If you contact the seller, they will always tell you it was a simple mistake, and that they will "compensate" you (for all of your lost waiting time 3 - 8 weeks!) with a refund of your money. (This is NOT compensation!) And here's the Caveat: ... They will tell you that they will refund your stolen money ONLY if you lie for them & change the negative feedback to a positive first: This allows the sellers to continue victimizing new, additional buyers. Once changed in advance of a refund, they will walk off with your money. You will NEVER see it and find yourself with no recourse. Paypals "buyer protection" will not cover ... anything. Once again: Send it back to china at a minimum shipment cost over $14.00. You will usually be given a 10 day return limit, far short of the 3 to 6 weeks it takes for things to go to or come from china. So you can pay to ship the junk back if you want, but you will lose that money, too, when that 10 day time limit is exceeded. Be aware of Scam Version #2: Sometimes the seller will promise to "resend" a correct/undefective/non-arrival item if you revise the negative feedback FIRST. Dont fall for it; It will NEVER arrive, because it will never be shipped. On ebay, if you complain or leave negative feedback for garbage items received, you will see how fast the seller will try to flip it, saying that it is YOU who are causing THEM such trouble, wrecking their business, etc. with your negative report(s); They will cheat you, steal your money, and try to make YOU feel bad for THEM! They will usually send a pleading letter presenting themselves to you as a victim: I will lose my job over your negative product review; I am a poor single parent; I have cancer; My mom is dying ...I have heard them ALL, and more. Our government needs to step in to end these corrupt entities from continuing to fleece americans, but right now criminal businesses like these are being supported, enabled, and encouraged. Please help by REFUSING to change accurate negative feedback to positives for any reason, except when a true mistake was made when leaving it. Leave reviews with your experiences at online watchdog reporting sites. AliExpress, Ebay and others will continue to feed on us like vampires, until enough attention is brought to these scamming crooks and legal action is taken to put an end to it .
