⚠️ Considerations of Note
Cash Advanced Fees: Users have experienced scenarios where linking a credit card to PayPal to use on AliExpress will lead to cash advance fees being charged. This may happen due to the way certain transactions are processed by credit card companies. We recommend checking with the credit card company on such transactions.
Seller Acceptance: Even in countries that support PayPal, not all sellers on AliExpress will accept PayPal. It is advisable to check payment methods on the product page or contact the seller.
🛡️ Buyer Protection
AliExpress uses an escrow payment system, which means that payment is withheld until the order is confirmed received by you in the condition stated. Moreover, having PayPal adds an extra level of buyer protection with dispute resolution and refund services in the event of problems.
