Linus from Linus Tech Tips bought several 1050/1060 graphic cards with prices too good to be true from wish.
They tested the cards and they were fake.

Stick to places like Ebay that have guarantees. If you don't get the item exactly as described, the seller has to accept a return. They have to pay for the return shipping and refund your entire purchase price including the original shipping. If they refuse to accept the return, Ebay will refund the full amount you paid and you don't have to send the item back.

+1 don't buy expensive stuff from unreliable/lesser known web stores.

Small, cheap stuff like electronic parts etc, go right ahead and shop for the cheapest price with a chance of not getting what you wanted (no big loss), but I can't fathom why you'd want to buy from unreliable sources, not to mention from stores who don't offer you any kind of return/refund guarantee. Better to stick to official sellers for that kind of stuff, in my opinion.

No offence to anyone that did so before but buying things like graphic cards on wish seems... silly. Unless you do some heavy reaserch but still, even AliExpress seems like a safer place.

You know the saying...

Wish in one hand, $hit in the other. See which one gets filled first.

...in this case I think Wish can deliver more

I tried out wish with some fairly cheap usb sticks but they were completely fake. Fortunately I'm in the UK so our consumer protections are pretty high so I could buy with confidence of getting a refund which I promptly did. Without that in place though I wouldn't trust Wish at all.

Heard about that on an Ashens video. The video card he got was a bust.
I built a PC with parts from Wish and somehow lived | Ashens

You can use Wish as a Sorcerer or Wizard and create a videocard, sounds more easily done than striking a too good to be real deal.

Here it seems to be mostly women who order tons of textile waste because it's cheap and then wonder why it doesn't fit them, be the same color or even same piece of clothing than in the pictures.

Now, this ^^ is what a scam truly looks like, boys and girls!

You are not a real prince! A real prince would've asked for a bank account number, sheesh! huge eye-roll
