Someday Bitcoin will be an option in the major retailer webistes, besides Visa, Mastercard, etc.

seems like most of the merchandise sold from chinese companies on ebay are high volume, low margin transactions. since bitcoin transaction fees are fixed, it means less money saved.. but they would still save money from accepting bitcoin anyways.

I see many negative reviews for AliExpress. So I doubt that I will ever use it.
It depends on the seller. I have purchased several times from one seller on AliExpress and the transaction has always went well. August 02, 2014, 08:41:21 AM
I wouldn't trust a Chinese eBay Seller too lol but it's good for them.

Yes, hundreds of Chinese eBay purchases for me, never a problem with Chinese sellers, not once.
~10 years ago I was importing bulk lots of green laser pointers from Chinese to resell locally. Green lasers were a big novelty back then
.Bank wiring like 4k euro after slowly building trust, never got burned once.

The only positive about paypal is it has big userbase.
Thats not the reason people use paypal. They are a 3rd party which strictly serves to protect the buyer as a type of escrow service / payment handler, where if you get screwed they compensate you.
As a seller, paypal offers nothing.

FTFY. I've no issue with the Chinese. Or any other "race".
It's not about the race. It's about the country in which the seller is located. I think the trouble is the Chicom. I wouldn't trust Russia either.Noted.
I don't really trust anyone I don't know, so I guess you're more liberal on that than I am
That being said, I've been screwed more often by American companies than by Asian or Russian companies, and I am American by birth. Our so called consumer protection laws are not as good as they look on paper, unless you are wealthy or well connected.

That Chinese seller is probably moving to or has been selling on AliExpress.
They blow away the eBay/Paypal conglomerate due to the escrow service. Sellers don't get money until buyers receive their product.
Once Alibaba IPO is released, they should get more Western visibility.

US market is shrinking.
First, the financial elite gutted the manufacturing sector. Then the retail and service sector.
Eventually, even the financial center will leave US and move elsewhere.

And PayPal claims another victim. I hate that I still have to use them, but there isn't much that I can do about it. Anyway, I don't mind another reseller accepting Bitcoin. I love Chinese stuff

Well, i had some bad experiences on Ebay specially from chinese dealers so good luck that was my opinion.
Really depend on what you buy. If it is a foreign brand, then avoid Chinese sellers.
If it is a no brand or generic item, don't think anyone can beat their price.

You don't need to trust any seller on ebay, ebay has buyer protection. (actually, this really sucks if your are a seller). You as the buyer can open up a case for ANY reason, even if you don't like the color, if it didn't look like the picture, you changed your mind, it rained that day. There is no risk on buying on either ebay or Amazon, simply because you can open up a case and get your dollars back if anything goes wrong. Also, you can give the seller a bad feedback which they do not really want.
For bitcoin I think feedback would be left on a forum like this one. I hope more sites pop up to buy and sell with BTC.

The Paypal/Ebay combo is a match made in hell for both buyers and sellers. Hidden Fees and chargebacks, and fucked up terms of service.
Sold an Asicminer Block Erupter Blade last year when they were the shit, and they charged for a reserve price, buy it now price, and 10% cut off the sales pretty much obliterating my profit margin.
Fuck both of them in the asshole. Hope Bitcoin makes Paypal it's bitch within a couple of years.
