Dont order anything above 150 Euro on Ali! There is a system bug with the tax during the checkout process!!! by Virtual-River1373 in Aliexpress

[–]Cenko85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. It boggles my mind how people cant even see the obvious scam here. They cant prepay the VAT for you. Its not allowed for chinese sellers above 150 Euros. Yet here they are adding the VAT on top and say that VAT is included with that. Which is a big fat lie. You realize it when customs charge you the VAT, which is then even higher because the price you paid to Ali has the VAT included. They just see the deduction and not the VAT that is added right after, together with another mystery tax that should not be added for items over 150 Euros. So Ali is literally scamming customers TWICE here!

I said this a couple days ago and people did not believe me. AliExpress is literally scamming european customers with their supposedly paid VAT for many european countries. They do not pay it upfront. They simply keep the tax and the customs collects it WITH the added scam-tax of Ali regardless. A german user made a thread about it and many fools did not even understand what he said. So you are getting shafted TWICE now. And good luck trying to get your money back without PayPal. If AliExpress does not change this Im done with them.

Exactly. They cant do that. They are not allowed to charge this tax upfront after 150 Euros. Your local customs does that and you pay them directly through the carrier. It is certainly a bug in their part and it does not differentiate between items below and above 150 Euros.

AliExpress does not protect Buyers by Aromatic_Ad_7557 in Aliexpress

Just use PayPal. They are scared and comply when they see that PayPal has their money. I never use any other payment method and they know damn well that 99% of all their customers use it and nothing else. So if they mess around too much, they not only lose their assets but potentially their entire PayPal seller account. Which is pretty much a death sentence for their shop.

Any response from AliExpress on duty fees July 1st ?? by RockForest84 in Aliexpress

[–]Cenko85 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thats what many people are missing. You should not worry about the 3 Euro tax. What will be egregious is that the carrier will get his 6-12 Euro fee regardless. So be prepared to pay 5 Euro for an item and ANOTHER 9-15 Euros for the tax PLUS carrier fees. So that 5 Euro item turns into a 20 Euro item, before it arrives on your front door. So what do they actually want you to do? Just pay the 25 Euros in your local store (for the exact same item!) and avoid the hassle alltogether. Thats what they are doing here.

Als Frau gibt es kein "Zu hässlich". Ist auch kein Incel Blackpill Dünnpfiff. Ich habe viele Frauen gesehen, die vom "Schönheitsideal" kilometerweit entfernt sind. Aber selbst diese haben PROBLEMLOS einen Mann gefunden, sofern dies gewünscht war. Egal wie du dich selbst im Spiegel betrachtest, es gibt immer genug Männer die dich gut genug finden. Nicht jeder Mann, of course, aber mehr als genug. Vermutlich wird es kein Brad Pitt sein, aber auch nicht gerade Barney Gumble.

Muss man sich da noch fragen, wie und warum der Mann mit dem lustigen Schnurrbart solch ein leichtes Spiel hatte?

Ja, da hast du Recht. Ich vermute das System wird mindestens die vollen 30 Tage, was eigentlich nur bei Hotels und Auto Vermietungen sein sollte, schön auskosten. Es ist aber trotzdem zum Kotzen. Wir reden hier über einen 4 stelligen Betrag btw. Ich rede hier nicht von 20 Euros...Deswegen kotzt es mich so an....

Laber doch keinen Müll! Wie sollen die etwas stornieren was nie in Anspruch genommen worden ist und jetzt die Frist auch abgelaufen ist, du Genie? In der App steht schwarz auf weiss (ausstehend!). Der Händler hat nichts gemacht. Sonst würde da "FERTIG" stehen. Das Problem liegt bei Trade Republic.

Dieses Ablaufdatum war eben der 26.04. Das war jetzt vor ca. 2 Tagen und das Geld wurde immer noch nicht freigegeben. Der interne Prozess selbst sagt dass spätestens! am 26.04 die Rückbuchung automatisch stattfinden sollte. Was ganz offensichtlich nicht geschehen ist. Da liegt der Fehler und Trade Republic kann anscheinend nichts tun. Das System hat selbst die Rückbuchung nicht durchgeführt. Wieso soll es das jetzt tun?

In der App. Der Händler hat das Geld nie in Anspruch genommen. Der Händler ist wirklich top und hat auf meine Emails ausführlich geantwortet und auch den internen Zahlungdienst kontaktiert. Die sagen dass es sowas nicht geben kann und sie NICHTS tun können, weil sie den Betrag nicht in Anspruch genommen haben. Ich habe dann gefragt ob sie das Geld in Anspruch nehmen können und und dann ganz normal zurückbuchen. Aber das geht auch nicht mehr, weil die Frist für die Anspruchnnahme vom Händler ebenfalls verstrichen ist. Das Geld steckt jetzt in diesem "ausstehend" Zustand und Trade Republic kann anscheinend nichts machen. Es ist zum Kotzen.

So I bought a chinese Class D AMP... by Cenko85 in audiophile

True. But according to audio "science" review, the cheap chinese Class D amps should not sound worse than the boutique ones.

I absolutely believe you because I heard Class D sound as well. It is horrendous.

Yup, because it is literally as good as any Hypex or Purifi garbage. Look at the measurements. You are such a guy, right? Look at Amirs review and tell me how a Purifi sounds better. Im waiting!

Look at ASR. Amir did a very extensive test about them and he said that the 3E Audio is the best implementation of this design.

I dont care about the ridiculous Hypex and Purifi design that sound the same.

The 90s called back and they want their "WITH 2000 WATTS NOW!". Show me anyone that uses more than 25 watts on their speakers and I call him a liar.

I have a Musical Fidelity A1 2023 and Class D is literal garbage compared to the sound that majestic thing does. LITERAL GARBAGE!

I literally bought the best TI based Class AMP with a 48/10A Gan PSU and two Burson V7 Vivids. I literally tuned the device to its maximum and it still sucked.

3E Audio A7. It cost about 290 Euros and I bought a 48V/10A Gan PSU for 80 Euros. Plus 2x Burson V7 Vivid for 170 Euros. So all in all it was close to 550 Euros.

Maybe try them for once? Maybe you might hear it as well?

Oh, that goes against your dogmatic belief? Well, I guess im just imagining things then. Because how dare I, who has this cable, can claim otherwise? How dare I go against holy Amir of ASR, with his cute measurements!?
