That'due south what I don't know exactly. Information technology can be due to alter or IP, alter of browser. The issue is that your business relationship is now suspicious and they need to verify it before going further..experience free to give them the required details. If you are not comfortable with it, you tin forfit the business relationship.

level one

I had more than grand orders without whatever issue. One time I got exactly the aforementioned message. They asked me to send them a photograph of my ID, photo of my credit card, and a depository financial institution statements. I wrote them a nice fuck off message, removed my carte info from account, and created a new business relationship.

level 1

Clicking on the appeal, it'due south asking me to upload a pic if my ID, bank statements, and some other shit. Wtf why? I've bought a few things from them over the years, never had this issue. Even tried a different cc

level ii

You tin cover the photo in the documents, function of the numbers on the card and other sensitive data. Leaving your name and addresses that aliexpress already knows virtually you.

level ii

It did the same thing for me today. Offset time in year it ask me that.

level 1

When they start suspecting your business relationship. That's the only pick y'all accept at present else you volition loose the account.

level 2

Suspecting what? I've bought like three items in the last year.

level 1

Odd! Seems like the payment thru the credit card failed. Hence they are request for another payment method.

Cheque your credit card if yous have been charged or non.

level 2

I oasis't. I tried another carte also. Same thing happened.

level 1

They asked this of me when I used to apply prepaid credit cards to shop there. After a sure amount of different cards it raised a flag and they asked for pictures of proof. I told them I used dispensable cards and sent pictures of them. Afterwards several months they lifted the ban and I was able to apply it once again.

level 1

I talked with customer services near this last week. There is naught incorrect with your account or your cards, there were an result with the payment. They experience the transaction is insecure, then they want y'all to verify the purchase. I did not desire to send them a photo of my passport, then I changed to PayPal and information technology went through. The adjacent mean solar day I could pay with my card again.

level 2

The verifying procedure is only linked to that exact transaction. They won't save it. And it might happen over again.

Ps. The items you bought is at present in your "unpaid" folder. I tried purchasing several times from unlike sellers when my carte du jour failed, so I had many purchases of the same thing, and had to abolish the other purchases.

level ii

At that place's no PayPal option, at least for all the items I bought from this dump.

level 1

I wouldn't submit my ID or bank statements. Get another account if you lot still want to purchase items on their website.

It raises too many red flags, at least for me.

level 1

Information technology happens after a while. It sucks simply it should exist alright. You tin can censor all the details not required (including hiding role of your ID number etc...). I'd propose censoring said stuff, no point giving full copies of bills and all, I don't need and so to await through my bank statement :)

level i

it's because they suspect that you might be using a stolen credit carte du jour.

level two

I don't know why if I've used it earlier with them. And it's not like information technology was a large order. Order was under $four

level 1

Also happened to me. All my orders were randomly closed for security reasons. They also asked me to upload a pic of my ID etc which I didn't do. I then stopped using Aliexpress for over a yr.

I finally opened another account and my orders started to get through, simply recently I had an lodge closed for security reasons over again.

Not sure I volition fifty-fifty carp with another account now. This is but too much of a hassle. Will stick to eBay for now.

level 1

I've had the same trouble maybe a year ago. Uploaded the requested pictures of the debit/credit card and passport and after that everything was fine once more.

level two

Yes sure, lets all upload our IDs and depository financial institution statements to the Cathay, thank you. Simply pay mouser an extra 10 bucks and get it direct.
