Much better luck than I've had for sure. I don't believe I've bought from Banggood so I'll give them a shot someday. The ebay sellers I've dealt with don't seem to care about their feedback. For overseas stuff, I've started buying more from Aliexpress as at least they hold the money for a few days after delivery and I've got time to test the stuff and file a grievance if its got broken bits.
So far I've had good luck with
zhitao's store-ws2812 - Small Orders Online Store, Hot Selling lamp uvb,lamp cat,lamp rose and more on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group and
LED Boutiques - Small Orders Online Store, Hot Selling tube website,tubing coupling,tube ph and more on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group You really have to be on top of stuff and ready to test it right away when it arrives. Aliexpress autorelease of funding is 3 days after delivery if you don't do anything.

It wasn't worth the trouble of sending it back. I gave him as crappy a rating as possible and left a message warning future buyers that he wasn't to be trusted. Ebay sellers in particular don't want you to leave negative feedback so they will make every effort to correct mistakes. And yes, I have had problems with domestic Amazon sellers misrepresenting the product so it is not confined to overseas sellers. I can buy a 2.5 meter (8') natural white LED strip from Home Depot for around $55 or buy the same thing in twice the length from Banggood for 9 bucks in waterproof or $5 in non-waterproof. It sure is worth taking a chance.
