AliExpress and Temu are somewhat similar, as in cheap products of questionable quality.
This of course depends on what you are looking for. I’ve found for electronics repair, AliExpress is legit. No idea about Temu for electronics though.
eBay is completely different. Sure, there are counterfeit items on there, but by and large it is a legit marketplace.
Fun fact: I’ve had the same eBay account since 2003.
They say 1999 in my account. :)
But it was actually much earlier. I guess they deleted some database (back in the days when data was still deleted).
Damn mine says 2000 here. I've had an ebay account for a quarter of a century. Jesus. I don't know what's more surprising, how old I am or how old ebay is.
