Some years ago I used to buy (occasionally) from AliExpress. Then I had a series of problems with credit card abuse and I stopped using services that would not allow PayPal - this included AliExpress (they only support PayPal in US ... and UK?)
So, time passes and more recently I was doing some computer upgrades and there was a particular component I was having trouble sourcing locally. I found I could probably get it from AliExpress (albeit with some delay in delivery) and I made the mistake of logging into AliExpress to see if their policy regarding PayPal had changed ... it hadn't. But months later I and still being bombarded with marketing emails about products that are no longer of interest.
This is one of the reasons why I wonder about the attraction some people have to sites that do such targeted marketing. For most products, like those I might source from AliExpress, the window of interest is small: probably days, a week at most. If I haven't made my choice and found a supplier by then, then I don't want it so stop <bleeep> bugging me!
