I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?

    In my experience:

    If there’s a local eCommerce platform, just use that. Since i’m chilean 🇨🇱, my go-to platform would be Yapo.cl

    Also, using Facebook Marketplace is an equally viable option.

      The downside with Facebook marketplace is that you have to have a Facebook account to use it and if you’re worried about your data being exfiltrated to unknown persons then Facebook is definitely guilty of that
