Polyamide tape is usually ok though.

What do you mean? Most electronics stuff come from China. Do we really have choices?

Yes:

China -> quality control -> distributor with a reputation to protect -> customer

China -> customer

Yes, you have to develop a sense of what's good and what's bad.

I've bought a lot of good stuff on there though. In the long term you'll save a money even if you get a dud every now and again.

Yeah same as my point above. You have to do your own quality control.

I got a good strip of 10x working new AD8307 log amplifiers from China for $10. They are £15 each here!

I know there's a few things you should never buy on there, eg. 18650 batteries and power MOSFETS.

Anybody have any others...?  :popcorn:
