myrmepropagandistLike many places aliexpress has made their search worse. It's cluttered with "promoted items" and it tries to second-guess.
What if you just want to see every product similar to one you are considering? (In particular those being sold at lower prices by sellers who have not paid to have their items promoted?)
There is an easy work around!
Image search.
Ross of Ottawa@futurebird@sauropods.win it must be detrimental to their success. Sure they may have increased sales, but return costs and loyalty just suffer.
If I search for a 20mm blue widget, they'll also show me 30mm blue widgets in the mix, which I may order by accident. Then I'll either need to do a return, or be annoyed enough to not visit again. It's frustrating at any rate.

"No they just don't know what they want."
myrmepropagandistThis method also circumvents the "regional search parameters" that can often make some of the more interesting products hidden depending on where you are in the world.
I use it to find teapots. Aliexpress assumess since I'm in the US I don't want to see good clay teapots. It shows me what's popular in the US which is generally some of the worse teawares.
This "old school" search gives much better results.
myrmepropagandistI think they just have not "updated" this hidden search and that's why it still works.
Excellent for finding electronic parts.
