I bought motherboard for my Toshiba laptop. The seller said "free cpu" and I took that to mean a cpu appropriate for the motherboard I was buying. He asked me what my processor is and I told him i5 460M. I even sent him snippet from the Toshiba technical specs. Instead he sent a P6100, a cpu that doesn't even belong in my rPGA889 socket. It wouldn't boot, but my cpu from my dead motherboard booted fine. Aliexpress dismissed my claim altogether. Apparently aliexpress expected that I'd be happy with a 6502. Wish I could give zero star rating.

I recently bought four integrated circuits aka ICs. The seller shipped with no protection and one was so badly bent that a pin broke off. The other three checked okay after I straightened the pins. I got refund for the one unusable IC, but because I got just a partial refund, I was not allowed to rate the seller for the items that I kept. Shopee policy is to protect the worst of the bad sellers by not allowing buyer to rate the seller. Shopee doesn't even deserve one star. The pink protective foam is mine, not the seller's. The proof of order implies that I got refund for all four ICs, but in fact, refund was for only one of the four.
