Note by @jeder

so is Allegro really just a European reseller of aliexpress stuff

like I have spent enough time browsing aliexpress that I just recognize the goods. A lot of them are the same chinese stuff (some are actually good)

@piggo it got especially worse when allegro opened up to Chinese sellers

@piggo like, it's so bad that most of the time there's a dedicated "delivery from Poland" filter button on the side bar

@piggo when it's just delivery from Poland items, it's pretty good, and like, is usually safer than just buying them on seller's website

@piggo fun stuff is when these Chinese sellers just do not remove offers, and so, afaik, this switch is discontinued, and you can get 4-button and 2-button versions, but not 6-button, on aliexpress every offer with this switch has it greyed out, but on allegro you can just "buy" them like that

@jeder and what happens if you buy it? You just get nothing, the classic eBay experience?

@piggo in case when it's a polish seller, they message you and try to say that they don't have the item, and if its possible to wait, they'll offer you to wait more, but they also offer you to just get refunded sometimes they'll just unceremoniously refund you, no idea how it's with Chinese sellers, but it should have to be the same

@piggo allegro is known to be pretty consumer-oriented so they will most likely try to push the seller to explain wtf is up
