IS DHGATE safe place to order items?

[gazbids]

I have been using dhgate for years and I have always known I am buying ⊗⊗⊗⊗. Pretty much everything is ⊗⊗⊗⊗. Do not touch microsoft software from any seller.

I am going through a dispute now and like most smart people only use sellers with impeciable feedback. This seller has over 5500 Positive and about 93% He is listed as dhgates top seller. I bought a Cannon Eos 450d for $700 from him. For the first week he tells me dhgate said not to send. Upon contacting dhgate they know nothing. After a week he sends a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ tracking number. After 5 days he admits he does not have the product. After another week he apologies for the delay he has been on holiday. He agrees to send 2 nintendo wiis with 60 games. Another 10 days still nothing so I leave negative feedback. Within 10 minutes he emails saying since I leave neg feedback he will keep. About 20 emails and 10 live chats to dhgate I finally get a manager. She tells me it is sorted but I still have this seller saying he will not send unless I remove feedback. Dhgate through all this still allow him to advertise the camera and others that he does not have. Unless you are Chinese stay the hell away from them

I've purchased from dozens of sellers there the only time dhgate tells the seller not to ship is if there's an issue with your payment method or something similar and dhgate will tell the seller not to ship yet and may not tell them the reason so the seller will try to delay the shipment until dhgate gets the issue straitened out in their fraud department. Since you left negative feedback before the issue was resolved, you gave yourself a bad rep as a buyer, so it's best to find a different seller if you can't make amends with that one and no I'm not Chinese and I've had nothing but good experience there.

Jbuntz is right,as you know,dhgate can make money from the deal ,so they need more sellers selling the items and make more deals,so of cource they want to protect the sellers .Of cource they just show you they try to communcate with the sellers for you but anway they will try to help sellers more then buyers. So the point is you need to choose the good supplier ,not is expect dhgate can do all thing for you.

I like HitTime, Cyclone and a few other small timers that know what they're doing. Oh and I just ordered something from wholesale_china we'll see how that goes next week. Hm, I wonder if it's a good idea giving these suppliers names out to the public these guys are my source of income!

I was not demanding my Dear just "Respectfully Requesting" as for "bad" who is to say what is "Bad"---You still did say if that avatar is you.

As for DhGate, Their Escrow system is Safe, and getting safer everyday, they are begining to look more and more like an American Corporation with all of their little money grabbing gimmicks like the E-wallet. I see now that they have a "NEW" Deal with Paypal, where Paypal now handle's Most of their Payment options-(More Problems, Limitations for Users)

Funny that if Paypal see's that you Purchase from DHGate you can Kiss your Ebay account Goodbye, But on the other side of the coin they have NO PROBLEM getting right into bed with DHGate to process most of their payments. HYPOCRITES

[jbluntz]

For anyone using paypal with dhgate I would not recomend it, I recently made 9 purchases with a paypal not linked to any ebay account and every one of them were put under paypal investigation, put on hold, paypal and dhgate= bad news stick with WU or their new e-wallet you'll be much better off.

@Teedon No big deal I was only joking, kidding.

[teedon]

yes,i know you guy are kidding.Anway i am happy here with you guy to share more experience and learn more.even i am very busy sometimes,i still want to take some time here to talk with you fun guys
DhGate now is get more problems and many people complaint about it.I think the people can get more other ways to source products.

aliexpress also is a good platform for wholesale .No matter you are buyer or seller.The deal is safe for both.

[rafi]

yes, aliexpress ig good to sell and buy on there, it also can use paypal to pay now///

Interesting. What if you just make one or two purchases? This is something to consider if paypal is getting involved in people's purchases from dhgate or anywhere else.

I've had paypal investigations for payments made on ebay purchases. I simply gave paypal a call and they happily closed the investigation and paid the seller. This is done in order to prevent people from using stolen paypal accounts to pay for items. This is a security feature in order to prevent fraud. I've had two or three paypal investigations for items I purchased on ebay, but I simply gave them a call and they released the hold.

[teedon]

good idea,so usually we need to contact ebay for our issues firstly,they will happy to help if things can be sort by ebay rule
