Aliexpress payment problems

[Lee Roberts]

I've not had any problems myself, I also leave my card details stored so that could be the difference here.

Barry, if you want to make the arrangements with him, I dont mind making the payment for you. He knows who I am so he should be ok with it, can you not just send him a PayPal?

Just to add a counter-view, I never store the card details and to this date it has always gone straight through (I usually use visa too).

Thanks all

I'll try ticking the 'save card' option and see if that works.
If not I wondered about PayPal but didn't want to mess him around - however, might be my only option.
After that I'm not sure what - thanks for the offer Lee but that feels a bit onerous on you and I would like to find permanent solution

I went into my account and entered card first iirc
It seems to take a different path if a card is already stored when you start to pay.

Could be all a coincidence and not make a scrap of difference, but prob worth a try.

Hi Greeny,

OK, I registered first with AliPay and added my card details. Then when I went to pay it showed that same card automatically. Looking good I thought. However, it still did not process the payment.

So I emailed Fred and he is sending me a PayPal invoice instead.

I mentioned that I was part of this forum and he said he was honored to be recommended so many times. Lee, maybe he would do a deal / Ali coupon for forum members?

I must have just been lucky, sorry it didn't work out.
You would have thought Aliexpress would have sorted this by now.

Good job you've got the paypal backup route to fall back on.

Cheers.

Hi. I was also having the same problem, especially when the price had been changed.

Here's my solution: Select Other Payment Options (Confirm and Pay) wait for the page to load your be taken to (https://icashier.alipay.com) Select the payment option you want to use on this page. Pay now.

Good luck and I hope this helped
