Just spotted this seller yesterday, amazing prices but 0% feedback.
I know it's a common practice to drop prices initially to gain feedback and trust, so it might be a real bargain... Or a total ripoff!

I bought this RK3588S SBC feeling like I was stealing it:
**Deleted** (scam)

Any guesses?

Any guesses?

With such deal .. if it goes flopped, say it was a scam.

The real question is, will you whine here in this forum about how bad and how evil the seller is ?  >:D  :-DD

Do I need to hire Sherlock Holmes to investigate every seller out there?
Nope! That's AliExpress business!

I will rant about null Aliexpress buyer protection if I get scammed and they do nothing.

Maybe a new entrant trying to get noticed?

Let us know how you go, I'm interested. I think AliExpress will cover you. Fortunately I can resist this purchase.

Even sellers with feedback are unreliable, because they can delete your negative review.

Don't forget to film unpacking the package and first test of the device. Having a video proof saved me once from a scam. Seller sent me a different product than what I ordered.  :phew:

Best case you'll get order cancelled. Worst case fake tracking number.

Yep, I learned that 15yrs ago, in the old eBay times when sellers were sending bricks, sand, stones...  :-DD

SCAM!
The good were shipped 24 earlier than my order and delivered to France four days later.
Aliexpress agents's IQ is questionable, I had to tell them the same thing like 5 times...
"But it shows delivered sir"
"Yes, but 2000km away, in a different country!"
"Let me check that for you"
"Tracking shows delivered, did you receive the correct goods?"
"I received nothing, ask a guy called Jean-Pierre in France LOL"

Ages later:

"I see, let me open a claim"

At least they've stepped in.
I knew it was too nice to be true but anyways:
