Aliexpress - automatic double orders?

Any one bought something off aliexpress and then received a request for another payment?

I've recently bought 2 things off aliexpress (not socks).

first thing I bought and paid for it immediately.

The next day I received an email saying I hadn't paid and I thought "that's weird" but it was late at night when I ordered so I logged onto aliexpress and paid (it was a small item). it was only then that I noticed that it was a payment request for what appeared to be the same item same seller but different order number.

So now I had 2 orders for the same 2 items. anyway, emailed the seller and said I had stuffed up and then waited 24 hours for the cancel order button to appear and order was cancelled.

no problem.

yesterday I bought something else off aliexpress, paid for it and then this morning received an email saying that I had to make payment. logged on and saw I had already paid for 1 item/order but there was another pending. this time I ignored it.

Don't know why I'm having these double orders.

just thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else makes the same mistake i did.

  • I buy things on there all the time, never had that problem

  • Never had that problem either.
    Must be the way you are ordering (?)
    Just watch you don't double up (somehow?). The order is handled by Aliexpress themselves and passed on to the seller nominated. Aliexpress have always been professional in my experience and also hold monies paid, from the seller until you say you have the item and are happy with it…. so don't leave them off your list of bargain sources without finding what the problem is.

    • Yeah, ebay then aliexpress for sourcing stuff. prefer ebay due to paypal but which ever is the cheaper source.

      just a bit weird.
