I'm sure you must have heard about aliexpress. it's somehow similar to ebay and you can find there pretty much about everything. the thing is that they don't accept paypal as a payment method. i negotiated with a seller over there and he agreed for me to pay trough paypal and he would send me the product. all good ...I paid and afterwards he said that he had changed the price for the skirt. I paid 13 dollars and he said that the skirt was 1 cent. I was like hey man....I paid way more...just send me the skirt and we have a deal. he was like no and no and that I would have to pay 1 cent instead of 13 dollars, thing which is pretty much illogical. in the end he refund me the money except for a dollar which was the fee. sure you would say it was my fault but after this experience I'm done with aliexpress

I have ordered thru Aliexpress and never had any problem. If you encountered problems, Aliexpress can help, you just file a dispute.

@holdoors he could have sent me the skirt ...had he increased the price I would have understood. but the fact is that I paid more than the price he was asking in the end

@swissheart Yes, it's definitely absurd.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't know these kind of scams exist. I usually pay for AliExpress directly on the website and haven't used PayPal to pay the buyer.

I've never heard of it but don't think I'll bother checking it out either - I have enough problems with eBay.
