Alibaba.com - B2B marketplace

Buyer beware! They have tons of listings that allow you to place items in your cart, checkout and pay. When you pay, there is a 3% transaction fee from Alibaba. Then the suppliers will message you saying their prices have increased, the items are out of stock or shipping costs more. If you don't want to pay the increase, you cancel the order. Guess who refuses to refund the transaction fees. You might think this happens sometimes. Nope. So far it's been 33% of the orders I've placed. SCAM!

This app is most disappointing this year compared to 2018. Buying products for my personal use is now a futile endeavor. It has proven to be an unnecessary hassle and too much of my valuable time was consumed. The number of options are very limited pertaining to the number of brands, colors, design, and size. Previously (2018) I was able to order just what I needed for my personal use. I see the prices of their (limited brands) products and shipping have risen dramatically.

CYBER BULLY MARKETING!! I would seriously appreciate NOT being forced into the play store to download an app just because I would like to read about one product that came up in a search. Intrusive, forceful, deceptive. It's like pop up spam at its absolute worst-case and makes the thought of buying anything with this company seem like a most probable mistake in the long run. If that's what it's like to not have the app, I can't imagine the nonsense of what must go in if it's downloaded.

I enjoyed the app, selection, etc. Until I got to the ordering. Everything appeared to be in order, but when I placed my order, I received a message that I would have to wait for an agent to confirm and contact me. The next day, I received a message that my purchase was "accepted" but that shipping would be more than double what I had seen in the order. Their excuse was because "branded" products are more sensitive so they cost more to ship. Dishonest and deceitful supplier.

To confusing!!. If I want to order something you start the order with shipping info. The you have to contact seller and I am not sure, but I think I am waiting on a seller to respond, which 2 hours later, nothing. Now I have lost interest. You have to do this for each item you order. Havent even gotten to the payment part yet. Lost interest in ordering. Deleting app
