Oh man, how is anyone supposed to follow an on topic line here?
Sigh….
J-Dub74, thanks for the input PayPal might become a normal payment option.

Sharpie and others involved in Paypal vs Credit card discussion
Paypal is a safe and good payment method when a site is not known or has poor after sales.
So when AliExpress is unknown I can imagine paying with it has it benefits.
But over the years AliExpress has become a reliable platform and their dispute system is very easy and in case of problems one can explain and is actually listened to.
I’d choose AEs system over any other.
Here in Europe we enjoy western freedom as well yet there are undoubtedly more rules and regulations. A lot of them protect a consumer so paying with credit card to protect ones shoe repairs is not needed , paying with a credit card is not as normal here as it is in the States anyway.
For example when something is bought online the buyer can ship it back with no reason given within a period of time (at least a week after delivery) and must be refunded in full. So we have much less need of protection from PayPal here.
All items bought are covered by a legal warranty depending on the item, so we EU peeps don’t need to pay extra Apple care, we show the law texts and get helped (not that companies are not trying to sell extra warranty)
A lot of shops offer free shipping back (print out label, smack it on it and drop of parcel) because it inspires trust and makes people buy clothes for example without the risk of getting stuck with not fitting or a bill for shipping it back.

I think the PayPal protection is a good thing
I like the AliExpress ways more
But of course I really like a vendor that ships the good as advertised.
Such vendor does not have to fear whatever refund measurements are in place.
Simon/Convoy and Paul/Jaxman deliver what they promise and as such are seen as good vendors by most people who ordered at them.
Jaxman probably is waiting for a longer list before making the hosts available, we know a lot of tyr parts can only be bought in high quantities and the current 20 will not justify spending thpusands
But who would get involved now…
Yes I think people will want to get involved after seeing input on this great host.
And in trlhr midst of the nasty parts all remarks and pics of the actual hosts and build are nice and promising!
So Yourrid, yeah i can’t wait on some pics!
Thanks SB!
