      It was just a matter of time. This chinesium stuff is spreading everywhere. There’s new markets (like Temu) and then the old markets are now saturated woth people just relisting Ali stuff on Amazon, Etsy, Ebay, etc. Hell even some Aliexpress merchandise are just relists of another Ali or Aliexpress item.

      I will say that sites like Wish/Temu have a devilishly genius promotion style. Always throwing coupons to get you to open the app, always having bundle deals, especially with free shipping. So much shit just getting bought to fill a cart and save on a virtual coupon. It’s kind of genius, oh and because each individual item is so cheap hardly anyone ever returns things. It’s a brilliant business model.

        Yeah, true. I just wonder why the US government wanted to ban tiktok, when what sites you mention do is much, much worse. Guess size matters, they are much smaller than tiktok
