"You are wrong. I bought by AliExpress by credit card and had full protection. So is clear that you’re trying to scam people."

Excuse me, I never said that AliExpress does not offer buyer protection, I said that they don't offer escrow. You still have to pay 100 % upfront obviously.

Furthermore:

1. AliExpress is having enormous difficulty weeding out fake goods right now. Go to the CDC warning page showing the most prominent types of counterfeit particulate respirators and then go to AliExpress and compare. You will see a lot of them there.

2. The Korean government has issued several warnings against procuring fake masks via AliExpress, etc.

I'm sorry but you are comparing platforms that offer Buyer's Protection to what you are selling and doing.

1. You cannot offer Buyer's Protection.
2. If someone gets scammed by you, be it event through a signed contract, there's a change you can't even be punished for it IF the customer wants to proceed with the investigation of your scam.
3. You're advertising a "20% upfront" payment when, in fact, it's a 100% upfront payment: 20% from the start and the rest, 80%, after you send the photos of the so-called "ready-to-send packages".
4. If fake particulate respirators are hard to be weeded out, how are you going to ensure that yours aren't fake either?
5. You just digged your own grave - if the KOREAN GOVERNMENT has issued warnings against procuring fake masks from AliExpress and other platforms, then how in the world do we have to trust YOUR masks?

Your aim here is to buy large quantities of masks, sell them at a >200 % profit and make money. Right?

Your aim is not to spend 3 weeks fighting with AliExpress and your credit card company in order to get a refund.

Price gouging masks could lead to problems with Customs and even to the confiscation of the masks by authorities. AliExpress refunded my money within less than 3 days after my request and it affected the seller's reputation too. I'd rather fight for 3 weeks and get my refund rather than going to the cops and being told there's nothing that can be done.

1. We're talking about Bitcoin payments (I have to assume that since we're on the BitcoinTalk forum), not USD. BTC is non-refundable; a bank transfer still has a possibility of being reversed although a well-experienced scammer has the proper methods not to make this a possibility anymore.
2. Stop comparing you with platforms that offer you the assurance that your money WILL be returned to you. I've had hundreds of orders from AliExpress and every single refund has been successfully processed. You're not AliExpress and you could very well actually be one of the sellers they've even banned from their platform for scamming and/or selling fake goods.
3. I've been scammed before for a sum larger than 10k EUR. By a scammer I've signed a contract with.

I tried to recover my money from the scammer and after months the USA has tried helping me, they found the scammer but they couldn't've done anything to them. The law did not allow them to punish the scammer in any way.

So in other words, escrow or GTFO this forum.
