still no escrow....hmmmm.....from a newbie account as well...(I mean buy a frigging copper account, at least it would be an attempt)
scammers..no pride in their work anymore

Alibaba is offer the trade assurance payment, it is like amazon. You pay the money to the platform first, and we send the items to you. after you received the items and feel ok, then the platform send the money to us.
It is very safe.
Well...anyone else from China or in the world agrees with the above?
It does not really matter in my case, even if all you say is true, with the 27.6% tariff to USA (including import fees) at 10c kWh here that boat doesn't float.

brad you knew he is from china at first
also you had informations , so why you called him scammer and after it discussed about tarrifs!?
if its hard for you to deal with him simply pass him
the hourly transactions which has been done by alibaba is 1000x of the most expensive items you saw in your own world. if you cant trust alibaba you better deal with locals and dont search here.
+you are toxic
