Aliexpress escrow

    So....escrow on Aliexpress. Does this basically guarantee that I'll get what I pay for? I had a look around for fruad on aliexpress / alibaba, and it seems it happens for sure, but I have yet to see anyone getting stung with escrow involved (except one guy, but he received his goods, just not as expected / agreed and he didn't report back on whether he got his money back).

    I'm slightly wary of buying from someone with no feedback and good prices, but I can't see an obvious way of scamming me with escrow involved.

    edit: Found someone with reasonable feedback that only costs an extra tenner. The escrow question still stands though. :)

    Well I wouldn't say guaranteed but its a hell of a lot safer than Alibaba. If the items don't turn up then you open a case with Aliexpress.
    I'd never had a problem with it.

    Use Aliexpress and check the sellers feedback and you can't go too far wrong.

    Nice one. Thanks. Have you ever had to get your money back through the escrow service?

    No I've never had an issue with any supplier thankfully but I'd be a little skeptical.

    I mean what would happen if they sent you a box of junk using registered post?
    Chances are they would find in their favor which is why checking the suppliers feedback is so important.

    Well....I've picked a supplier. Going to order in the next few days. I'll post back on how I get on.
