User Recommendations:
1. Do not rely upon Alibaba Gold Status as it means nothing.
2. If trading via Alibaba, insist on using Escrow

5 purchases from Alibaba – only one transaction without major problems.

Clearly Alibaba is the den of thieves that is referred to in the Ali Baba and the 40 thieves!!!!!
