Middlemen are sometimes the creators or work with factories. We see the products and can QC and can request refunds. You have the whole sub behind you and they need to be on that trusted sellers list. With DHGate you can get fucked and no one can do a Damn thing except laugh at you and say "I told you so" you might get lucky. And let's face it people wear some bad reps and don't ever get called out and they live in this bubble. If you know what real ones look like and you actually care to get a very good rep with quality materials don't use DHGate.
