Alibaba frustration

Tried twice with 2 different cards and they closed both orders. Wanted copy of drivers license and copy of card and bank statement. Really?? Wanted a new light (2x) but with all the hassle with them I’m about to say forget it. Definitely not sending that kind of personal info to an unknown in a different country. Got to be a better way. Any suggestions???

PayPal?

Prepaid visa or mastercard.
Works on aliexpress which is part of Alibaba.com.

Tried a m/c and a different debit card. Both good with plenty of balance available.
Didn’t see a paypal option. Do they accept it?

I don’t think they accept PayPal, never had a problem with credit or debit cards. and I’ve ordered 15 or so times over 2 years.
Their escrow system works well, the one time goods showed as delivered to Ireland not England I got my money back in 48 hours.

I’ve tried to get quotes a couple of times and it never panned out, no response. Sounds like the old days of ebay if they want your drivers license and bank statement.
