      @Primit1v3 be very careful with the specs - I keep finding things on there that say xx VDC in the title, yet it only mentions AC in the long descriptions. Also powerbanks that say 1000000mAh in one place, and 100000mAh somewhere else.
      There are so many examples where it's not a typo or poor translation, it's either a bad cut and paste, or a scam.
      I keep thinking about buying something from there, and then get put off by all the "mistakes" on a particular item.

      I would say it's far worse than ebay.
      Ebay has been pretty good recently, apart from some "1kw" inverters I've seen that are powered by a cigarette lighter plug 😱
