Alibaba?

Caution is wise. However, note that Alibaba has designs to challenge the dominance of Amazon in locales other than China, so there is the possibility they will make every effort to insure satisfaction to help them build up a loyal base of "Western" customers.

I dunno, yet it is something to consider. I also (no offense) do not care, as I have no dog in an Amazon/Alibaba fight, and have no money to be a customer of either.

Alibaba has a staff of 200 trying to stop the sale of fake goods. In the first ten months of 2013 they removed 114 million listings of fake goods. (from AP) China is the hot bed of fakes. I'd pass.

Yeah, the more I look the more I see of those kinds of stats. I figured as much. Too good to be true is usually right.
