    AliExpress order closed. Need to appeal with identity docs

    That seems odd. I'd hop onto chat with them and confirm. They blocked my payments and didn't ask for anything, it was only after I got onto chat that they told me I needed to register and verify an AliPay account - but no copy of CC or CC statement just ID documents..

    [METHOD] STRIPE Payment Gateway

    Kind of but its not viable. Eventually they're gonna catch up to you or you're gonna get a chargeback. Stripe can't take money out of Payoneer and automatically pays you out. Unless you get lucky and have enough in there before payout to pay the chargeback + the $15 fee (Stripe are notorious for...

    Another small update, store still going :) 3 months and 2 weeks in, I've learnt alot! Had a few ups and downs but now the store is running at a steady profit. Conversion rate for the last 30 days is bang on 1%. Got my first repeat customer today which is awesome! Even on PayPal only the store...

    I've had a lot of things going on in my personal life and work is getting busy so haven't been that active working on my store. After being banned from Stripe I figured it was downhill. I'm still able to run shoutouts and gain a little bit of sales through PayPal only, today for example gross...

    I created a page on my site using screenshots I took of the payment process. If you have some basic knowledge of Wordpress this is very easy. Then I went into the AliDropship plugin section, Marketing, Abandoned Cart and inserted the link into the emails that are automatically sent. Before I did...

    Ok another update. Some good and bad news. Good news; Tried a new approach on the IG shoutouts and product sales spiked when it went live. Seems like it worked as conversion rate went from around 0.8% to 1.14% as shown in the pic below. Number of orders were low but that doesn't bother me as...

    Ok time for a long overdue update. My store went live in the 1st week of November, so almost 3 months. Here's the sales stats so far; Plenty of visitors but conversion rate is low. This could be for a number of reasons, I think the main one is low quality traffic from some IG shoutouts...

    Glad to hear. Doesn't Oberlo use AliExpress too though?

    In regards to Free Shipping Close to Christmas

    Use ePacket where you can for US orders. In my experience China Post (Free) or AliExpress standard shipping (free or cheaper than ePacket) was actually faster to Europe than ePacket, but ePacket is faster for the US & Canada. Even then it depends on other factors. I've had customers receive...

    AliExpress order closed. Need to appeal with identity docs

    Did your issue get resolved? I recently went through the exact same thing and it took 4 days, many chat sessions and many please with them to get it working again. Screwed me over good, was in the middle of a promotion and had to pull/delay everything.

    OK update. About 4 days after my account was blocked for no reason, after the 4th day of having passport uploaded and 2 cards verified by phone, after around 6 chat sessions with customer support, after losing $10 on an order because I had to place it through another website to keep the customer...

    Trouble with AliExpress

    So since then about 4 days after submitting my passport and around 6 chat sessions later, I received an order and decided to try it out. The payment went through fine and like Anonymous451 said the payment was verified even before I could load the orders page. I recommend everyone create an...

    One of the chat reps actually suggested and insisted a new account would work- anything to get rid of me. It didn't. Card still blocked. I take back what I said, their customer service is hopeless and clueless. Different answers every time but the recurring theme is "your account has been...

    Trouble with AliExpress

    They also gave me "advice" to get me to sign off like clear cookies, different device, etc even make a new account! None of this worked ofc..
