由于所有价格实惠的商品，全球速卖通(AliExpress)是一个在线购物的好地方，但有时，由于诈骗者，这个购物平台并不总是最好的。现实情况是，购物者会发现全球速卖通(AliExpress)的欺诈卖家比 eBay 还多，这真是太可惜了。
速卖通是否合法且安全？
该网站位于中国(China)，由中国最大的在线零售公司阿里巴巴拥有。(Alibaba)事实上，阿里巴巴几乎和(Alibaba)亚马逊(Amazon)一样大，这也是为什么它的创始人马云是当今(Jack Ma)中国(China)首富的原因。人们倾向于使用阿里巴巴(Alibaba)为他们的小型零售业务批量购买商品，而全球速卖通(AliExpress)主要由我们普通消费者使用。
现在，我们不会深入探讨为什么这个购物平台有这么多骗子想把你的钱消失在风中。本文的重点是为用户提供有关如何保护自己并确保他们脱颖而出的信息。
如何防止在速卖通(AliExpress)上被骗？
您需要首先检查的一些基本事项是商店何时开业、在那里购买的频率以及最后一次购买的时间。这将使您了解商店的声誉。其他需要注意的事项是：
- 阅读评论
- 买家保障
- 卖方保证
1]阅读评论
我们建议在速卖通(AliExpress)上购买产品之前先在线阅读产品评论。但是，如果它是中国制造的商品，并非随处可见，那么请阅读卖家页面上的客户评论。这样做应该让购物者了解商品的质量以及卖家的可信度。
请(Please)不要从没有评论的卖家那里购买物品。是的，这对新卖家不公平，但作为买家，你必须把自己放在首位。尽管如此，人们必须警惕虚假评论，因此请务必考虑阅读评分较低的评论，因为它们有时通常是准确的。
此外，您可能希望查看您选择购买的每个卖家的反馈评分器。(Feedback Scorer)此部分将显示详细的卖家评分(Detail Seller Ratings)、反馈历史记录(Feedback History)等。一旦您对卖家的可靠性感到满意，请继续购买您的产品。
2] 买家保护计划
与 eBay 类似，全球速卖通(AliExpress)的人们也加入了买家保护功能，以帮助您保持理智。该网站承诺保护买家，并从卖家发货之日开始。现在，请记住有一个买家保护期，所以如果您在结束日期之前要求退款，速卖通(AliExpress)将考虑退还您的现金。
请注意，退款有长达 15 天的等待期，因此在您因等待期过长而失去理智之前，请记住这一点。此外，这是买家唯一可用的选项，因此如果在初次购买后事情进展不顺利，则将问题升级到全球速卖通(AliExpress)，然后他们将充当调解人。
3] 卖家保证
许多卖家倾向于在他们的页面上发布书面保证。然后由买方决定这些保证是否足以让他们启动商业交易。一个人应该尝试从卖家那里购物，以提供更好的保护。
如果卖方未能履行诺言，这些保证可以在争议中用于对抗卖方。
总的来说，只要是聪明的购物者就可以在AlieExpress上安全，这适用于任何在线购物平台。

Is AliExpress legit and safe? How to prevent being scammed here?
AliExpress is a wonderful place to shop online due to all the affordable items, but at times, this shopping platform is not always the best due to scammers. The reality is, shoppers will find that AliExpress has more fraudulent sellers than eBay, and that’s a real shame.
Is AliExpress legit and safe?
The website is based in China and owned by Alibaba, the largest online retail company in the country. In fact, Alibaba is almost as big as Amazon, which is why its founder, Jack Ma, is the richest man in China today. People tend to use Alibaba for buying items in bulk for their small retail business, while AliExpress is primarily used by us regular consumers.
Now, we won’t go into why this shopping platform has so many scammers looking to take your money an disappear in the wind. The point of this article is to provide users with information on how to protect themselves and make sure they come out on top.
How to prevent being scammed on AliExpress?
Some basic things you need to check first are when was the store opened and the frequency of purchases there and when the last purchase was made. This will give you an idea of how reputed the store is. Other things to look at are:
- Read Reviews
- Protection for Buyers
- Seller Guarantees
1] Read reviews
We suggest reading reviews online on a product before purchasing it on AliExpress. However, if it is a Chinese-made item that isn’t available everywhere, then read the customer reviews on the seller’s page. Doing this should give shoppers an idea of the quality of the item, and the trustworthiness of the seller.
Please, do not purchase objects from sellers who do not have reviews. Yes, it’s unfair to new sellers, but as a buyer, you must put yourself first above all others. Still, one must be wary of fake reviews, so always consider reading the ones with low ratings because they are usually accurate at times.
Additionally, you may want to look at the Feedback Scorer for every seller you choose to buy from. This section will show Detail Seller Ratings, Feedback History, and more. Once you feel comfortable with the reliability of the seller, go ahead and grab your product.
2] Buyer Protection program
Similarly to eBay, the folks at AliExpress have incorporate buyer protection features to help with your sanity. The website promises buyer protection, and it begins on the day the seller ships the item. Now, bear in mind there is a buyer protection period, so if you request a refund before the end date, AliExpress will look into refunding your cash.
Note that refunds have an up to 15-day waiting period, so keep that in mind before you lose your mind due to a long wait period. Furthermore, this is the only option available to the buyer, so if things aren’t going too well after the initial purchase, then escalate the problem to AliExpress, and from there, they will act as a mediator.
3] Seller Guarantees
Many sellers tend to have written guarantees posted on their page. It is then up to the buyer to decide if these guarantees are enough for them to initiate a business transaction. One should try and shop from sellers with great guarantees for better protection.
These guarantees can then be used against the seller in a dispute if they fail to live up to their word.
Overall, one just needs to be a smart shopper to be safe on AlieExpress, and that goes for any online shopping platform out there.
