Ugh, you guys weren't kidding about the credit card stuff. I ordered a bunch of random sewing notions and the level of financial documentation required to pay for it is akin to refinancing a mortgage. Please don't put me on the blacklisted buyers doxx site, sellers, I swear I'm trying to pay promptly!

Don't buy Chuwi tablets. Or if you do, make sure the battery never goes below 20% or so, ever, if you don't want an £80 brick.

Well, then I have no idea what I did to piss off the gods of Chinese exports. :-(. Mine just says, "For security reasons this process can not be continued.To make sure your transaction is secure, please provide us with documentation by clicking My Appeal for further verification." Documentation being crazy phishing-sounding things like, "take a photo of your credit card, driver's license, and bank statement." I am 100% certain it's legitimately AliPay, but I'm not sure if it's more or less comforting that only a subset of us are getting selected for further documentation.

Sounds like someone pmed you and you're being scammed. I'd cancel the order and try ordering from another seller, because this sounds shady as heck and I've never heard of it before!

Once I had an order fail to go through because there was a hold on my card (I bought a lot of pizza for a pair of events and my bank froze my card for a few days). Nothing like this happened, they just canceled my order and I was able to try again later.

I had that when a transaction wanted to use SMS authorisation, I thought it was a phishing link and so ignored it multiple times.

No way I was giving up that info so I just tried again from a different vendor selling the same poo poo and it went through fine.

For raw return on investment you can't go wrong with poo poo like this. I've seen those going for £1.50/£2 a pop in our local markets.

I bought a handful of these pieces of poo poo for work and surprisingly they write really well, the stylus works as a stylus, I wouldn't trust the spirit level but the screwdriver has been used successfully a few times. Again I've see them going for £4-5.

These would require a lot more upfront but again you'd easily make a killing.

It's your own bloody fault.
I think I have a problem:

Since reading this thread, I've made 13 purchases and it is all stuff that I don't really need: watches, cables, torches, USB stuff, rings (I don;t wear jewellery)

I see something on there and go 'blimey that's cheap' and add it to my cart. Paying is a couple of clicks and - here's the killer - because it takes so long to get here, I don't get the usual buyer's remorse that stops me buying new stuff.
