im amongst many of u here that should have looked deeper.for what its worth i emailed one of the sellers before i puchased an item on dhgate and he said the item wasnt authentic and to beware of any seller who claims to have authentic items.he even reduced the price of the item to make shipping more affordable.we’ll see how it pans out.i agree dhgate sux! and should be closed down
Stupid question. I have used dhgate for just under a year now and i have had no problems with it. If you play your cards right with it and think about what you are buying then there is no problems with it. For example, if you buy electronics from Dhgate then how likely are they to break? Id say very. But if you buy clothing/shoes, then you are more likely to ‘pull it off’ because, how can clothing break? Around 90% of its items are fake and there are approximatly 1.5m items on there. so thats what, 1.35m of the items are fake! Thats a lot, and the chances are, you are going to buy a fake item from there. Before getting involved in buying any old junk, i would take a look at the sellers feedback score because it takes a big interest in what kind of goods you are buying. so, it is reliable, but not reliable if your looking for authentity.
I learned on the first try with DHgate had I simply Googled DHgate reviews, I would have gotten LOTS of negative feedback on the site and would have learned. The lesson cost me a paltry $240.00 money spent on a lesson learned. I ordered a lot shipment of 10 microphones, I should have known better, DUH! They arrived, perfect and beautiful! I was elated! Listed them with my photos on Ebay on Monday, 3-24-08, by Friday, they were pulled down and I sat there with egg on my face but fortunately I didn’t have to face down an angry buyer. I bought them in good faith, I listed them in good faith, I would have sold them in good faith. I think I will donate them to my local church. Get a little good karma out of this. I thank God I didn’t get one sold. I filed a dispute with DHG and PayPal, but I do not hold out any hope. The seller’s response was to blame Ebay, and call them unreasonable, (in pidgin english, of course) in fact here is an exact copy of the message I sent to him and his response.:

I have just been informed by the website, Ebay.com, and by the Manufacturer, Shure, Inc. that the microphones I purchased may be counterfeit, as payment has been released to you I do not know that you will be willing to work with me to resolve this matter, my immediate resolution though is to cease any further dealings with you, in specific, and DHgate.com in general this is to protect my interests and the company I created from any litigation, or liability on the matter.
