Is it safe to order on Amazon/Ebay from China?
Shall I trust the order from Chinese supplier?
My friend told me be careful order anything from China especially nameless supplier. She went to Vietnam and bought a lots of stuff from Korean stores. She thought everything she bought was Korean made products but it was all Chinese made products . She find out the store is owned by Chinese business operator and used korean name and korean language on their product and store name so to look appears it's from Korea, not from China. So why Chinese owner used Korean name? Simply Vietnamese people hate China so they are not buying from anything smell Chinese. I dunno some says don't order from the Chinese supplier or no difference order from US supplier. |

There have always been middle men. Traders. Some add value. They vet the goods they buy. And some don't add value. That would be Amazon and Ebay. Take my first (and last) transaction with Amazon. They tried a bait and switch. They pretended to have stock. They took my credit card details. They put the credit card through and charged the money. Then, they write back and tell me there is no stock. And how would I like to buy the same item, at a higher (the regular) price ? A price where, I could drive ten minutes and get the item at that price from a local store. It took a month for the refund of the credit card to go through. And Amazon got to enjoy my money for a month. Now, how much business do you think I've done with Amazon since then, after such shabby treatment ? Zero! What nationality is Bezos ? He appears to be a Baldonian. Therefore, I have decided to "hate Baldonians". Now when I enter a small shop downtown, I check for hair first. Paul |

Although, and aside, to entirely ignore instances and residual of a present climate of fierce in-between competitiveness, where Ebay or, vis-a-vis Amazon, are is known to directly contact the other's sellers and attempt to lure them across the platforms for profit enticements. Below which, enters a dragon of Ebay Chinese marketing -- as one nefariously permitted the same window as operative consumer protection laws -- whereas Amazon shores that in with transport carrier adherances for those very laws;- Ebay, furthermore, has currently all but negated live representation to override automated Web-centric means to instigate a dispute. I have personally seen claims imposed, within Ebay's practices, upon requirement of a valid credit card initially processed, (a token charge and refund), before Ebay will pick up a phone with an human operative behind it;- A convenient touch, no doubt, with their website grievance a regular horrorshow of accountability skewed against the consumer. All of which, conversely, and although priced and skewed to account at some higher distributional expense rate, at the personal level of committed customer satisfaction, Amazon at least attempts to claim, is overall by magnitudes at a higher level of protectionalism. And most certainly well within under a 90-day transaction, overall, (Ebay would permit Chinese merchants to egregiously contract through them for (sic) 90-day as "reasonable" to shipping times), no less to access protection laws if and for "kicking it up one" to the customer credit card representation for fraudulent activities. Of course I might personally fear, on one hand, depending on how hard I can indeed kick, of kicking myself entirely of Fleabay's dog-&-pony show for calling in credit card's representation;- whereas, from the other hand, there's always hope of contravening forces to intervene, short of a prayer or perhaps the class-action lawsuit. Now, how much business do you think I've done with Amazon since then, after such shabby treatment ? Zero! Thing about Amazon is media routing, in one instance, they're all nevertheless using -- from consumer grade sites, actual consumers frequent, with freedom of speech to voice **** from shinola, over products, in turn advertised, by all WEB businesses that know to also go to to advertise their merchandise presence. Where, in occasions more or less lengthily between, Amazon may just happen to show up with no less with an ass-kicker of a deal. (When that distinction happens on Ebay, however, it is not of fleabay's interests, but the merchant's interest, who invariably list their presence and identity (for such reasons as what they may be to do so), that is through Ebay, that they are addressing potential customers to visit to make a transaction. E.g., it's the Chinese merchants at present abusing the 90-day consumer protectionalism that, really, Ebay should know better than to facilitate.) |

Other way around, perhaps not exactly just about everyday, but worthwhile, in any event, as long as merchandise can be further established, which can be tricky. To wit -- I've run both Ebay/Amazon tabbed against one another, temporarily gathering to establish an average skew elsewhere an idea for a product's national prices, perhaps ancillary information for brand divergences. Right-o, thereupon I know what and why I want to drop some money from my hot, hot hands. Surprise. An independent browser, I have not installed physically within the OS, is hacked and "locked down" and I'm unable to delete to reinstall it -- the whole purpose in the first place -- "Erase All Trace". . . Supercookies, or whatever who the hell knows. I have to reboot and manually, if additionally needed, pull the pieces for a quarantine burn-pit. Like I said, they're nasty, between merchants competing on Amazon and Ebay, with Amazon, depending on the product/instance, likely to be the one who's priced double for exactly your very fine assessment, indeed. I mean within reason, doing it over and over within experience within a wide range of products. The most obvious in mind, in this instance, is redoing all the plumbing interconnects between supply pipes and fixtures -- Amazon would be a joke, tempting unqualifiedly say from what Ebay offered, by actual plumber supply houses with parts on prices exactly suited my expectations. Needless to say at two, three times higher from overall an expectedly higher Amazon mark-up;- CEO, Amazon's Bozo didn't retire filthy rich for nothing. The lock-up incident, I can't recall offhand the item upon a determination, when I went to dis-install the browser and trace history, finding I'd been compromised, before ordering. To be fairer, perhaps not most generically to say, the type of product may be easier to respectively associate. Just not always, so as a rule I bring up both of them to make comparisons. With a high-end Japanese solar watch with low-frequency radio receiver, it took repeated attempts over days, perhaps by third-day's, when I'd given up hope, at the last moment of an alternative lower quality item, within the shopping cart, when Amazon, watching and evidently following, pulled in a new and prior unlisted merchant with half the price of Ebay's or hitherto their other price listings. I bought it and, the following day still curious, went back to attempt and track what had happened. The merchant was gone and the watch was listed for twice my price again. Last but not reiteratively least is Chinese merchants. They're operating at 90-days, within a selfsame interest credit cards disallow disputes (more in likelihood to exclude high-end items, such as my watch - they "know better" than sell without premium shippage). Which the Emperor of Ebay has given his Divine Blessing, along with recent Ebay closure upon recourse of consumer disputes. All of which, Amazon simply doesn't speak under such terms of parlance -- In Chinese pronunciation it's -- Watch Your Ass, Bitch! Hate to say it, I've bought a ton of goods from China, by far and many the good experiences. Damn right I hate to because I got stiffed over $3/US for 10 keyboard assembly switches. Even after the ******* messaged me that, just 'because they're so cheap, in My Most Beneficiary generosity, I'll resend them to you.' Ebay's response: 'What are you looking at me for, bitch! In case you've further questions: Hell no, that's not going to stop me buying from China. I will, however, be looking a lot harder at them;- and, in the case of Ebay, I can think offhand of some creative ways financially to draw down their attention should they attempt to slip out the backdoor on deals gone bad. When a Chinese merchant says he means to reship you something that never may have been shipped in the first place, I do have my doubts that Amazon would allow him the opportunity to say it twice. (And Amazon as well does ship from the Pacific Rim, to be certain, although for what addition price(s) to carry its PRIME modeling, if less so.) |
