Working Ways To Save $$$ On Aliexpress, Amazon & Ebay. by KrisNaira: 2:59pm On Mar 19, 2019
I suggest sharing all known ways to save money when shopping on Aliexpress, Amazon & Ebay in this thread.

I'll start with best three known to me services that have saved me several hundred bucks.

1. For Aliexpress
Pricearchive - https://www.pricearchive.org/ - best Aliexpress price tracker which I know. They have price info for about 80 million products from Aliexpress.

How to use
Find any product on Aliexpress.com site and paste its page address into the search field on Pricearchive.org
or
Install their official extension for Google Chrome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pricearchiveorg-shopping/ebbilkbochjjalheallpnblfdhkfjjmp
or Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pricearchive-org/

Check the price history for the product and avoid overpaying. You can track your product and/or buy it when the price is minimal. They send price drop email alerts.

See the image below to understand the idea of this service.


I really love this service because thanks to their graphs I always buy at the lowest price.
Tip from me.
With this service you know the minimum price for the product. So you can write to a seller on Aliexpress and ask him to sell at this price. Sometimes it works! Try yourself.


2. for Amazon
Keepa - https://keepa.com/ - Amazon price tracker, a little better than camelcamelcamel.com

How to use
Install their browser add on for Google Chrome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keepa-amazon-price-tracke/neebplgakaahbhdphmkckjjcegoiijjo
or for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keepa/

Check the price history before buying on Amazon. See the image how it looks like

2. for Ebay
PicClick - https://picclick.com/ - Search eBay Faster

How to use
Open any product on their site and see 'PicClick Insights' section. Click on 'More'.

I like this site because it shows a lot of insights and a lot of similar products from Ebay.

You can tell me thanks if I saved you a hundred bucks. grin

Nobody buys in these stores? Let's share ideas, coupons, gift cards.
Re: Working Ways To Save $$$ On Aliexpress, Amazon & Ebay. by Tinocosta17(m): 2:14pm On Mar 21, 2019
Please I need help. I purchased item from aliexpress last month February 27 only to receive a msg on 15th that my item has been delivered to me whereas I didn't receive anything. I contacted the local post office here in calabar on 18th only to discover that the phone is with them. I was told to pay almost 6,000 for an item I bought $99 with free delivering. They told me that the fee is for custom duty,vat and others. Now the full cost of everything I spent on that still the same with jumia price. Please do you guys pay for such when receiving items from aliexpress?

The best way for expensive orders is to ask the seller to specify a low price. Then there will be no need to pay extra.

Do you mean the price that will be written on the package?

Yeah, the price on the package.

How can one do all these with the AliExpress Android application?
Because that's the one I mostly use.
Re: Working Ways To Save $$$ On Aliexpress, Amazon & Ebay. by Xxpress(m): 7:52pm On Mar 23, 2019
If I order for different things from different sellers at the same time, will all the orders be shipped as a single package at the same time or it they will be packaged separately and sent differently

AliExpress Android application is a separate application.
Press share button at the top of the page in this app. Then press 'Copy'. Open Pricearchive.org in your browser and paste all that was copied into the search field on Pricearchive.org. Press search and see the graph.

I ordered for a phone screen touch panel on Alibaba on 21st of this month. Just this morning, I saw failed delivery, contact your local post office or seller.

I have contacted the seller, no reply yet. I need help on what to do next.
