About 5 or 6 years ago, I tried to purchase from them, but my credit card issuer (Capitol One) would never approve the transaction. Likely as a fraud protection.
Then Alibaba started accepting PayPal, and that worked, even though I still used the same credit card. Didn't have a problem with the seller, other than it took longer to complete the transaction than it would have going through eBay even though the seller was in China. Only bought one thing through Alibaba (a capacitor-discharge battery welder) because it was the only way to get it.
