For the record, this item retails for 8 euro in my country (one single unit bought in a store, including our 22% VAT), so it does not make sense to buy a container for 3.5 euro

    No. They clearly state 500 pieces for 0.35 each (which is too cheap)

    the scam

    Then you send the order. They tell you ok wait tomorrow, then they ask irrelevant questions then 60 hours after the request they tell you it’s not $200, it’s $2000, oops

    Meanwhile when you send the order your phone and your email is given to dozens of sellers in total disregard of privacy laws and you start to receive spam via WhatsApp and email (I registered using alibaba@mydomain.com and I receive spam there so it’s definitely not a coincidence)

      I interpret that as $.35 per unit, 500 units minimum right off the bat. Take a step back and look again with fresh eyes, or ask somebody you trust if you don’t trust us.

        I also interpret it like that. But then when i went to pay the $175, they kept chatting with me for over two days (“exact size as stated without customization, right?” yes - “same color?” yes - “same material of description?” yes) to finally say that the price it’s $1750 instead and the initial quote was completely BS, just to take leads. I wouldn’t think that getting leads misleading customers by a factor of ten is a good idea, but if 90% of sellers there do that, maybe is working

          Oh, sorry. I guess that all wasn’t clear from the OP. Sounds like a pain in the ass

            Now i got a “oops I tried to squeeze too much money, let me try again” message that pisses me off even more

            I hate prices that change according to the perspection on how much the client can afford or pay

            I had to read it a few times, I initially made the same mistake as you. It’s all there but I’m not used to carefully reading all the text on a silly post lol
