Anyone use this before, great for spares, but it doesn't seem to combine postage, the aliexpress help page is not much help.

Aliexpress is the Chinese version of E-Bay and as long as you use it like that you won't come unstuck,
I have used this site with very positive results but I only deal with those people who offer "Pay-Pal" as a form of payment.

You just need to place your order and then send a message to the seller and they will adjust your order with combined shipping. I have use credit card with them without issues.

To my knowledge, AliExpress is a rival to Taobao. The differences are Taobao has been around for a very long time thus has more sellers but Taobao seems doesn't serve foreigners. I, for one who always buy products from Taobao, has to ask my Chinese friends to help placing order and, settling payments and shipments. When placing orders on these websites, you better contact the seller first or there are risks that the won't accept your order.

Glad it worked out. Bought lots from them. The only issue is the shipping time tend to be longer.

You can get items from Taobao, you just need to use an agent. Taobao require a Chinese bank account before you can open an account with them.

They act as the intermediary, you tell them what you want, and they get it from Taobao for you. Always check the commission though, so that you don't get any nasty surprises.

Until today, 90% of my tank stuff come from Taobao; however, the way I deal with them is having a Chinese friend to do everything for me from placing order, settling payments and arranging shipments.
