I have dealt with both Alibaba and AliExpress suppliers with no incident. However, I prefer to use my Nakumatt Global card to make purchases as it is not linked to any bank account, thus I only top up what I need to use (the exchange rates make you cringe though). For delivery, I use clearing and forwarding companies as it saves one the stress of having to handle customs (who can be very unreasonable sometimes).

I always buy from Aliexpress (retail arm of Alibaba) and so far zero cash lost and you get refunded if the goods never get delivered.

Personally I have not had experience with unknown transactions on my card. I normally only transfer what I need when I need it, so essentially my card balance is zero all the time. ᐧ

Thanks Jangita. Is the issue of debit card information stealing rampant or is it paranoia because they are Chinese.

Yep, They are quite good at supplying stuff especially bulk. Problems came up on the receiving end. Taxes and all. There is a value above which you need to use a registered clearing and forwarding agent - can't really remember what that value is. This is 3 years ago btw
