In any way you know of. I find people here are more aware of politics and ethics behind big companies and this is what prompted my question but I’m also curious about any other differences.

I’m in Australia and I’ve only used Ebay and AliExpress so far. I find AliExpress has more variety and somewhat cheaper prices but I don’t know why or anything else.

When I first heard about Temu it was always in relation to dodgy products and sex toys so I didn’t pay much attention to it, however lately I keep hearing about people buying regular stuff without issues. Never tried it myself though.

    I’ve never orderes from AliExpress, but I considered buying from Temu a few times. Every time something popped up in an add that looked good it told me I had to download the app first, and then app kept trying to get me to buy other things instead of what I came there for. This is why now I refuse to buy from any website that makes me download an app to even see what they have for sale.

    I’ve never had any issues with eBay, and I’ve used it a bunch.

      Ali Express is legit, by the way, I’ve bought a lot of stuff from them over the years, including smartphones and carbon fibre kayak paddles, so some high value items.

      My only complaint is the shipping time is a bit of a crapshoot.
