AliExpress Review: Alibaba Wholesale Escrow Trust Worth Or Not?

Alibaba Wholesale Reviews : Ali Express
Months before, we posted an exclusive bout Alibaba Wholesale, called AliExpress Beta. We will give more info today to our users.

1 Ali Express Briefing

It was a wholesale platform like DHgate, almost the same: You and seller make a deal on the platform, you pay to AliExpress, Seller ships the good to you, you confirm then seller get the money.
This model was named Escrow.

2 Ali Express Suppliers

One of my friends, AKA my secret suppliers, told me that if AliExpress had a 20000 RBM (about 2900 USD) charge to become a verified supplier, what was more, AliExpress had a limitation for its first round recruitment.
It sounded that AliExpress had the highest standard for its suppliers, however, we found that some power seller in DHgate also stepped in this new wholesale market. As disclosed in the Power Seller Secrets Exclusive, we believed that some of the power seller did make direct money via all kinds of tricks.
Thus, it came to my mind that how Ali Express control its suppliers and what are the differences, let`s check next section

3 Escrow and Payment Protection.

AliExpress`s Escrow was called AliPay, which was the bellwether in China Online Payment Field. (It defeats PayPal in 2003 when its affiliated C2C website, Taobao.com, took Ebay.cn down).Are there any differences between Alipay and other platforms?  No! Except payment.Other platforms used PayPal as the payment gateway.(Please see Update 1 for more info)  When you use PayPal, you may issue a dispute, claim or Charge Back when you experienced a scam.
However, AliPay  promote MasterCard`s Payment gateway as their primary payment methods to received the Money. Here were some of my findings:
1 No 3D verified – It was advantage anti-fraud security method used by lots of payment gateway, Alipay did not require the user enter billing address, which mean it may not required 3D verified
2 Charge Back – I did not know about the Charge Back policy of MasterCard`s Payment gateway, but if you issue a Charge Back to your bank, Your bank should deal with it.

4 Products

Hmm.. . quite different situation in different categories:
Electronics:  All are non-Brand item copied the Brand items without any warranty!   Example:  A cell phone called “ GMN97G”, it was the clone of Nokia N97, and it just named it that to give you the hints.
Apparel:  No Brand Items, but lots of Item called “Designer xx”, they were still clone.
Maybe AliExpress and other China Wholesale platform believe “No guilty for clone “

5 Customer Services

Once you left your message, they would assign a services agent for you. You can also give them by clicking “help us to improve” link at the button of left side.

6 Scam, Fraud, Received Item not as described?

We are looking for these cases, if you are the one; submit your case to us.
Update1
According to aliexpress.com`s press release, Paypal has came to Aliexpress. Maybe Paypal just want a try in B2B market.

No,Aliexpress is a website,not a software, just like ebay, you
can buy item from thoes sellers. However, those seller are from China. Just go
to aliexpress.com and try to click a few time, you will get what it is.

I've used it before and have had good experiences. When the supplier does not
ship or not respond to your purchase your money is refunded automatically. It is
a perfectly safe system and I would definitiely use it again
