Payment Methods
Before paying for an order with Aliexpress, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the possible options. The choice, by the way, is rather big.
Payment by Visa or MasterCard
Payment using a card is considered one of the most convenient ways. Firstly, the data on your card is strictly classified by the seller and other third parties. Secondly, in case of a need for a refund, this will be much more convenient and faster. Thirdly, you can pay for the purchase in just a few clicks.

Before you pay for the order in "Aliexpress", once again check whether all the fields you filled in correctly. When choosing a payment method "Qiwi Wallet", you must fill in several fields. Firstly, enter your wallet number (usually it matches the phone number to which it is attached). Secondly, choose a payment method again. The Qiwi payment system has several of them: from the wallet, through the terminal, from the card (if it is attached). Choose any convenient. If this is a card, then you will need to enter its data. If the terminal, then pay through it the purchase. If the wallet, then the amount will be debited from it.
Webmoney
More recently, a convenient payment method like Webmoney wallet has appeared on the trading floor. If I already paid for the order on Aliexpress using it, then in case of a refund, there will be no problems, in principle. When choosing this method, you will automatically be transferred to the webmoney.transfer page, where you need to specify a username, password, and also confirm the purchase by SMS or through the keeper application. Funds are transferred instantly.
"Yandex money"
The administration of Aliexpress has long gone to meet its Russian customers by creating a convenient payment method using the Yandex.Money service. You will be automatically transferred to the site with payment. You must enter the username and password on the Yandex service, then view the invoice, pay for it by entering the payment password. After that, you will be pleased with the message that the payment has passed.
How and how to save
Very often, the same product on "Aliexpress" is presented by several sellers at once. You can choose the lowest cost possible, view reviews about the seller and the product, then save on what to buy cheaper.
Another good way to save money is by shipping. For example, when searching for a product, check the box for free shipping, which means "free shipping." The only negative is that some sellers do not send a tracking number to track the package. Although this is rare.
The third way to save money is to ask for a discount or a gift. That is, in the comments to the order, you can indicate that you saw a cheaper product from another seller or would like to receive a purchase bonus. Writing, of course, is necessary in English, since Chinese sellers do not understand much in Russian.
You can also save on the payment method. So, for example, when transferring funds from a card, the commission is not withdrawn, for the most part, and the Webmoney service takes a standard commission in the amount of 0.8% of the payment amount. Read these aspects carefully when choosing a payment method.
Conclusion
Before paying for your order on Aliexpress, carefully fill out all the delivery fields so that your package will be sent to you. In addition, please include your first and last name in order to receive the package. Choose a shipping method to save time and donate time, or to pick up your purchase soon. Remember that the seller receives your money only after you pick up the parcel. All this time, funds are stored in the trading platform, which guarantees their safety and security.
Remember that before you pay for an order on Aliexpress, you can always contact the seller to clarify the details of a future order. For example, the actual size of the item or packaging. Sometimes you can ask for additional packaging for a moderate fee or for free (with a sufficiently large order, Chinese sellers willingly agree to this).
Before buying, carefully read the description of the selected product, which is compiled by the seller and the Aliexpress trading platform itself. How to cancel a paid order if you suddenly change your mind about buying a thing, but have already paid for it? Contact the seller to get started. If the package has not been sent, he may cancel the purchase. If it has already been sent, then most likely you will have to wait for your order. Buyer protection of the trading platform does not apply to such cases. But if your order doesn’t arrive within the strictly agreed time frame (60 days), then you will definitely be refunded within three days, and the seller can either be fined, or even blocked on the site.
