The vast majority of Russians are literally addicted to shopping on Aliexpress. This Chinese site has become the most popular place to shop despite its awful product design. Photos on Aliexpress are often of poor quality, and it's better not to talk about texts. It is difficult to imagine more illiterate texts, this applies to both the Russian version and the English one.

All the disadvantages Aliexpress are offset by a fantastic assortment of goods and favorable prices. Once you've made a purchase on Aliexpress, it's no longer easy to stop!

People tend to have different habits, including the habit of shopping in the same stores. Only in our time everything is changing rapidly. Therefore, if you want to make the most profitable purchases and save money, you need to periodically compare prices and terms of service in different stores.



I also enjoy shopping online, but unlike most people, it’s not only a necessity and an exciting pastime for me, but also a job. Therefore, I automatically remember the prices for a great variety of goods, and based on the example of several dozen purchases in recent months, I conclude that now it is more profitable to buy on ebay.com.

1. Delivery speed. All purchases made on ebay.com were shipped within 2 days, rarely 3-4 days. Similar purchases on Aliexpress take much longer to ship. Sometimes you have to wait 7 days or even 14 days for the seller to process the order and send our purchases.

2. Buyer's rating. On ebay.com, most sellers give you a plus right after you pay. This is certainly a trifle, but very nice.

3. Photos of the best quality. Ebay.com sellers are much more likely to frame their products with large, high quality photographs. I shop exclusively from a stationary computer with a huge monitor, this makes it possible to study the product in more detail.

4. Prices. Comparing prices on ebay.com and Aliexpress, I often see better deals on ebay.com. There are sellers from all over the world, including sellers from Aliexpress, but on ebay.com they are more attentive to buyers and sometimes offer prices 10-20 percent lower!



This applies to a wide variety of goods: clothing and accessories, clothing and accessories for BJD dolls, household goods, special equipment, electronics and gadgets. For example, I managed to buy a 256 gigabyte Kingston flash drive on ebay.com for almost 20% less than the best deal on Aliexpress.

Naturally, not all profitable offers lie on the surface, sometimes you have to search very diligently for goods, using all the wisdom of searching on these trading platforms, but without this, even within the framework of one Aliexpress, you can constantly overpay to cunning sellers.

For other products, different ratios are possible, but in any case, ebay.com has a faster service. All ebay parcels arrive faster. Perhaps in the future the situation will change and sellers on Aliexpress will start to work better, but so far my answer is unequivocal - buying on ebay.com is more profitable and more pleasant than on Aliexpress.
