eBay, AliExpress, and Temu

eBay, AliExpress, and Temu are great for purchasing small items. The shipping is free or inexpensive. 

Most small items are made in China currently. I usually buy things on eBay sold by US sellers.

If an item on eBay has an estimated delivery time over 10 days, it means the seller is merely middleman for the item sold and shipped in China. In this case, it is better to buy it from AliExpress or Temu. 

Temu, though a Chinese e-tailer,  has US warehouses, so its shipping can be fast. AliExpress, also a Chinese e-tailer, ships its items from China.

Both Temu and AliExpress have annoying aggressive dynamic pricing. They lower prices to allure you, then increase prices when you are hooked. I look at an item very carefully sometimes to determine if it fits my needs. They may interpret it as hesitation due to price, and reduce the price only for one item temporarily, and increase it immediately after you order one.
