Does anyone have any experience ordering items from China.  I have checked feedback but still leary of ordering.

Be prepared to wait.  It takes a long tiem for packages to come. I have not had any problems.

Hi,  I know I've ordered a few times from China sellers.  They all had great feedback, the items were not expensive and it all worked out well!  The shipping took quite a while and as I recall maybe one package was not received by me, and when I notified the seller, they sent me another, without hesitation.  Sellers and products can vary, but my experiences have been very good.

I ordered from some guy in China...several hundred dollars worth ... outrageous shipping charges he said he would combine and never did.  I never got the merchandise even though it said "shipped" so I contacted eBay.  I had to email him and ask about the order and wait a certain number of days for response, then let eBay know if he responded (nope).  EBay then contacted him, refunded my money in full... backed by eBay policy... and he is no longer a seller.

My son has ordered several items with only one he didn't get and eBay refunded his money.  He has been happy with buying from China.

I have bought a number of silk scarves as well as some semi precious jewelry from China.  I always check the feedback and sometimes it takes a month to get something.  I have never been disappointed.

I have purchased several items from China on e-bay including a new screen and battery for my iPad, silk scarves, and household items. Everything was delivered in about 10 days except 1 item that took about a month when there were shipping problems from China which was a problem for everyone for a short time.

The sellers were polite and very gracious.

I’ve always regretted my eBay purchases from EBay. Like others have mentioned, shipping takes a long time and even if they offer return it’s too expensive to ship back.

I haven’t had any problems but if you’re buying for Christmas it’s too late. It takes about a month to get your item but other than that, no issues.

I always buy from US sellers only. I don't want anyone from other countries having my paypal info. & I noprmally only buy from sellers with 100% good feedback. I recently had a bad experincce even doing that. I purchased a PLUS size, but was sent a missy size. being the holiday mailing season, I wanted to return immediately, & did. I was not refunded my return fee, since I didn't wait for return label. I was NOT happy about that. Still debating over it.

I've ordered curtain tie backs, beautiful napkin rings, silk scarves, cell phone accessories, silver and pearl jewelry, decorative toss pillow covers, and other items from China without any issues. Tracking is pretty easy and notifications are given every step of the way, even through customs. 

The only slow shipping that I've ever had was around Chinese New Year when everything closes down for awhile but most vendors will let you know ahead of time.
