I used to buy a lot of cheap things on there, then something interesting started happening. Every time I made a purchase on there, literally a few weeks later, I would start getting fraudulent charges on my card. Thank god, my bank would call and ask, "Are you in Paris France right now? Someone just tried to purchase 3,000 euros worth of clothing on your card."
I haven't bought anything on there for about 5 years now and remarkably as soon as I stopped buying stuff off of their site, I have yet to have my cc number end up on some carders market and deal with getting a new credit card.
I also did some research and found out many, many, many people have had the same issues with bad charges showing up on their card after making purchases on that site.
Yes. I was annoyed when Bank of America discontinued the feature that allowed me to create a single-used credit card number and fund it with a limited amount of money. That was a good solution to the bogus charges problem. But it was so hidden on the BofA site that few used it.
I wouldn't trust Privacy.com with money. Read their terms and conditions. They're much worse than the normal obligations of a bank issuing credit cards. They disclaim responsibility for mistakes and fraud. And they charge 3% extra for doing that.
I've made hundreds of orders there for all kinds of electronic components over 8 years, and I had one lost package and one seller trying to sell badly refurbished power adapter, and maybe one or two fake Samsung uSD cards (died in 2 years of "constant" use in a SBC, which is a bit too soon). No card issues whatsoever (I never click "save the card" for later use).
Buying things from ax was great for me as someone with EE as a hobby.
I don't think I've had that problem, having bought literally hundreds of things from AliExpress. Were the fraudulent charges from AliExpress or other companies?
