The 3 cards were GT ATMs. I just clicked "add new card" and I used each to buy 100$ Ali pocket funds



$100 at a go(3times) or $50 for each transaction(6times)

Its not abt your account being old or over a year. I did a google search n found out dat dis appeal of a tin had been around since 2012. grin

My bro used my card to buy a phone. His account is also old. The transaction went through, no appeal whatsoever. So there may be evidence of truth associated with using old accounts and new cards. Or maybe because we share the same surname

The AtMs I used were for my friends...am Yoruba and they're Igbos ...so no correlation with the name...it has to do with the age I think.

LOL, oga CNY is over today. Your item will be shipped next week. Pretty sure dustmalik ordered in January. Na first come first served. If you really like your item, I'd advise you wait before rushing to cancel.

I ordered since on the 25th of January. they probably considered those who ordered first, so be patient. By the way, when you cancel, are you automatically refunded? How does the process work?

I think the point is, an old account is considered to be somewhat credible, hence a blind eye is turned to it.

You want to use different ATMs especially when your name is not on the ATM?
Get ready to appeal.
And your funds will be in 'voice mail' until the appeal is successful.

Let me thank you again rookidmart for ur assistance then. But on this appeal matter, i used 4 different cards for my purchase and i wasnt told to appeal. Half of the 8 items i bought have been pre-advised to shipping coy. What do u think is the criteria for asking buyer to appeal?

My account is almost 4years+ old and still had to appeal with my own personal card. You were just lucky that's all.

I had to appeal as well, though i just opened my account in January. I was only trying to explain the whole new/old account thingy, but i guess it isn't exactly accurate.

I funded my account Yesterday with 3 different ATM cards...and no ish...Just try lay your hand on old accounts
With the same name or different names?
Maybe you were just lucky.
You'll get to verify later.

Maybe it also depends on how frequent you have been purchasing from aliexpress apart from your account being old.

If your account is 5 years and you've purchased just 1 item, it's not as good as an account that 3 years and has purchased items from 20 different sellers within that time span

Anyone succesfully used a data only sim like ntel, smile etc on redmi note 3 special edition?

I have not been able to get the phone to work with smile sim and a friend ntel sim, even though it supports the band and there's network coverage in my area

Keep showing no network

Ahaha...
It might be that your account has been verified.. In the time of alipay balance cos, I had to upload my passport then during the alipocket registration... So you might not need to appeal...

Also There is account level you might be on A2, A3 or A4... Check your level

Hope your APN is correct? If not, it will not work. Smile APN is internet. By the way, Smile and ntel are both '4G Only' networks, they don't support any other network type. So you will need to dial *#*#4636#*#* then enter Phone information, scroll down and select 'LTE Only'.

Don't worry they'll get to you eventually.
AliExpress customer service says everyone would have to do it eventually.

When you want to checkout you'll see an option to use Alipocket balance.

I wouldn't know honestly.
Some people have been using other cards without being asked to verify.
Maybe it's, as Dam5rey says, they've verified before when Alipay was in vogue (when you had to upload a passport to verify).
Usually for new accounts it's usually triggered when you use cards that are not in your name especially if they have different shipping addresses. (If you want to ship an item to a different address from the o e on your profile just send the seller a message with the address)
