I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?

    Those disconnects are just time-out based. It’s just stupid configuration. Last time I contacted support on AliExpress, the person on the other side asked me to just send dot every 10 or so seconds to keep the chat live.
