Is Alibaba a scam?

No, Alibaba itself is not a scam, but it’s important to be cautious since it allows third-party sellers to list products, leading to varying quality and authenticity. Some sellers may engage in tactics such as selling counterfeit or fake Alibaba goods or providing misleading descriptions. Additionally, resolving Alibaba issues can be challenging due to inconsistent seller communication.
