eBay

In the last three months I have received a bunch of stuff from China that were misrepresented but there is no way I can get my money back because sending any of them back would cost me three times the value of the items. I think they have gotten wise to that fact and just keep on trucking.

Ebay is not much help either.

Whenever I buy something from China, I know that I am not getting quality. I am getting Dollar Store stuff. If you want quality, make sure you buy Canadian or American made stuff. Not just merchandise for sale in Canada or the US but where was it made. I am constantly looking to see where it is made, if made in China and I need it to be safe, such as electrical, food, etc. I won't buy from China unless I want cheaply made dollar store stuff.

That is not always true. There used to be a time when what you got was what was advertised. I buy a lot of electronic parts for experimental use. Now they advertise the use of a part but substitute it on the unit they ship. The descriptions are fraudulent.

So, the moral of the story is don't buy from them. You can no longer count on getting what they advertise.

CHINA - All ladies apparel I have bought from there has been really great, but I buy knowing that I won't be sending it back. Would I buy any electronics or jewellry? No way whatsoever.

I also buy electronic components from China (both thru ebay and elsewhere) and have never had a part substituted.
