Not really, that looks like a site people go to complain, a bit like this one but not as friendly!;)

Oh, did you read my reply to you and a couple of others who helped me while I was away on holiday and couldn't list on my tablet? I downloaded the EBay app eventually and it was fab. I could actually relist 2 per minute which was excellent! We were just chilling on our last day so it made sense to do my relisting. With the bonus day on Thursday, while I was back home, I relisted with my tablet again even though I had my pc in front of me because it was so much quicker to do. Indebted to you. Thanks again RFW. :j

You're welcome. No need to be indebted, I take cash payments;)
The Ebay app is surprisingly good and easy, unlike Amazon's which is useless for sellers.
To bring it back on topic, Aliexpress has an app too, it's a little different to the website and quite easy to navigate.

You'll get an email when the goods have been dispatched, and then when they've arrived (and you're happy with them) you simply go into the 'My Orders' section of 'My Account' and click 'confirm item received'. This then gives Aliexpress the go ahead to release your payment to the seller (you also get the chance to leave feedback). If you forget to confirm receipt, Aliexpress will send you a gentle nudge at some point!

we have ordered several things thru aliexpress and they have all arrived, some have taken a few weeks, but they all got here...
