  • Has anyone bought anything from Wish?

    Not personally, but every report I've seen says you won't get what you think you're buying. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is, and Wish seems to exist solely to prove that to anybody who still doesn't get it.

  • It’s the same as the cheap stuff you get on eBay and Ali Express. A lot of it’s fine, a lot of it’s not fit for purpose. I don’t think there’s anything special about Wish in that regard.

    My impression is that they sail pretty close to the wind in terms of outright fraud, more so than eBay and AliEx traders. I assume those platforms keep a slightly closer guard on the reputational damage that comes from being a hangout for crooks, while Wish is at the stage of prioritising growth over reputation.

    Since they like gamifying shopping, you should take that on board and treat any purchase as being more like buying a lottery ticket than an actual certainty of getting what you're paying for.
