I've never purchased off AliExpress or Temu. Lots of really cheap stuff, but will you ever receive it? I also don't like the idea of spreading my personal financial details too thickly across the net in foreign countries. I generally prefer to pay a few bucks more for things from sellers who I know are based in Australia, or failing that in China. I've found eBay fairly reliable lately, touch wood. I had a few problems with Amazon and hate the way they charge a subscription fee if you want free postage. So even when you are not buying anything you have to fork out for useless fees. It is clearly a trap to get people hooked on regular buying from them. I guess I only used Amazon until my free postage deal expired, then considered it more problem than it was worth and cancelled my membership.
