How to deceive buyers to Aliexpress, and what to do about it?

In this article we will tell about what schemes are most often used by sellers to deceive buyers on Aliexpress.

As you know, on Aliexpressin addition to honest and reliable vendors, there are those who try to catch up on customers. What kind of instruments do they use? How are you not running on them?

Cheating rating

First of all, before buying, the client looks at what the rating has a store. The meaning is that the higher the level of the seller, the greater the confidence. It is unlikely that someone will buy expensive goods from the seller with a rating of only 50 points. You look at the one who has 4-5 diamonds, or even a couple crown.

Of course, each store wants to rapidly increase the rating, and deserve confidence. Some first begin to sell small products of rubles 100, and when the rating becomes above, then the profile is replaced and start selling dear goods.

Site rules do not prohibit it. There seems to be no deception, but such a rating has a flavor of fakeness.

To check if the seller did not screw the rating:

• Go to the store page

Go to the store

• Open section "Goods"

Goods

• And go to "Number of orders"

Number of orders

You will immediately be displayed that I sold and sells a store. If you see things clearly not match the topics of the store, then this is one of the signs of the rating.

Subtitution of goods on the description page

An example of substitution of goods

Surely, you have already seen more than once that the headlines of goods, to put it mildly, are translated. Will it become noticeable if a few words change in them? This also use some stores.

For example, there was a page where they used to sell a watch with a strap and rhinestone from Swarovski. The goods were very popular, many of him acquired and left excellent reviews. But the seller changed the description, replaced a couple of pictures and now there are a clock with a simple leather strap and the most ordinary beads.

In fact, this is a completely different product, but the reference to it remained the same. Accordingly, in the search, such a thing will be higher in the search and with a large number of good reviews. This can lead to a rapid purchase.

In such a situation, look at the last page with reviews and carefully read what people talked about the product. Special attention is demanded by the little things. If you notice that the reviews do not correspond to the product described, it is better to give up the purchase.

Error in the delivery address

Error delivery address

For example, you live at Lenin in the house 11. But the seller refers to the goods at Lenin 111. The most dishonest generally send you a foam instead of the usual thing. Why is this done?

Everything enough simply. The parcel will be wandering for a long time on the branches that the seller is on hand. He hopes that you will not follow the protection time and order for lies, and he will receive money. After expiration time protection, deal simply close and seller will be listed funds.

What to do in this case? Be sure to monitor the buyer's protection. It is sometimes enough to open an email to which the account is registered and view alerts. Either periodically visit the section "My orders" on the site.

Open dispute is allowed no earlier than 5 days after the order received the status "sent", and no later than 15 days after the transaction is completed.

If you started the dispute, do not agree that the seller sent you the parcel once again. Insist on returning funds.

Changing the delivery method and partial refund

Return money for delivery

This method of deception is usually applied when express delivery. As you know, "Russian Post" refers to the parcels not the best, and therefore the fast delivery is ordered when buying expensive things.

For example, you purchased a 250 $ smartphone. Payment for sending was $ 50. As a result, you receive a letter approximately with such content: "Dear Customer! Unfortunately, the delivery service has problems at customs. I will send an order by ordinary mail. Let me return the shipping price. Open the dispute and place $ 50 to Return. "

Changing the cost of goods after ordering

As you know, on Aliexpressyou can ask the seller a personal discount. We talked about it in the article"How to ask the seller's discount?". But there are also such personalities that change costs in their favor.

In such a situation, make a screenshot of communication with the seller and submit an email complaint [email protected]. or [email protected]..

Non-compliance of goods and descriptions

Sometimes people so strongly expect product from China, what with once put 5 stars, not hope check thing. After all package whole, what more necessary? On the this and found calculation fraudsters.

You you can get thing at all not the one that ordered. More precisely, its characteristic will be different. For example, instead of USB 3.0 to you will come USB 2.0. How rule, careful checks require various flashki, cards memory, seeds and so further, because what them Disadvantages will not appear immediately, but only after time.

What is the situation in this situation? Do not rush to confirm the receipt of goods. First check whether everything corresponds to the declared characteristic. If you have detected defects, then immediately open the dispute. When the goods have an inappropriate description, you can return part of the money or the entire amount. Although in the latter case will have to send the goods back.
