I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?

    Something about your description sounds right and wrong. US companies may do that, but what about “one click purchases” via google and amazon? Surely they saved the CVC and ali/sketchy site don’t care as much about data breaches

      Nah, Amazon is super easy to dispute purchases. Hell, you can probably just tell Amazon directly that it was a fraudulent purchase and they’ll return it, at least for smaller purchases or infrequently enough.
