what chaff? Just search, find what you want and buy. It's like ebay.

Being like eBay is why it's full of chaff. There's a lot of really bad hardware on Aliexpress.

You either take a gamble on something and hope it's good, or try to buy the same thing that someone else bought and reviewed.

I always figured that was the trade-off for paying 1/3 the price. Having to buy 3x as many to find a good one. :P

Have you heard of paying with PayPal/credit card?

while possibly too sneery for this site, paypal and a real credit card will have buyer protections. Debit cards, and basically anything else will not.
