My China friends tell me Alibaba is for foreigners that cannot read Chinese and made to pay a premium for it.

PDD on the other hand is known for poor quality goods and dodgy sellers. That's why the items there are so cheap and there's a reason. Why Taobao don't allow some of the sellers is also due to quality and reputation.

That's what they told me.

I don't trust side loading apps which covers financial payments. There must be a reason for Android to ban this app on their platform and for banning it for so long.

AliExpress/Alibaba is the international arm of Taobao, its outside the tiongkok great firewall, why a ahtiong want visit it if they just goto toabao ? similarly, Joybuy is the europe arm of JD.com.

PDD is where I pickup cheap&cheerful china products, at a fraction of the price or can't find on amazon.
I won't buy a iPhone, NB, EV from JD.com (like our china counterparts), as little reddot already flooded with genuine international products.

Each of these platform serve a particular segment needs...

Just an update, I just tried and successfully transferred from MariBank to my own WeChat wallet. Not sure if anything has changed but it seems like it is now enabled for overseas WeChat accounts.

How long does the transfer take?

After ordered not less than 6-7 times. My last order from Pinduoduo gave me a strange issue.

It's which regard to a no name power bank. I ordered about RMB274 of items including that powe bank. And when they finally reached the consolidation warehouse, then I realized the rest of the items went to warehouse A while that power bank alone went to a different warehouse B.

Normally when I order, I do not need to choose my shipment company and they all went to the same warehouse and consolidated together.

So, I have no choice but to pay a RMB15 shipping fee since it no longer qualify for RMB99 free shipping to Singapore for a RMB40 power bank and then another ~RMB5 for GST. Why I proceeded to pay because most other sellers specifically said "unable to ship to Singapore" for such power banks and this is the only one that accepted and shipped regardless.

Question: I must manually choose the forwarder or choose the warehouse everytime to ensure they will be consolidated into the same warehouse everytime? Why I never need to do that and all shipped to the same warehouse?
