Basically if the site lests you place the order in your cart it is in stock from what I could tell.
Also showed a count next to where you select how many you want; at least on the mobile app.
aliexpress has no idea what the seller has in stock..its common practice to misrepresent the stock...

Yup, some sellers will list stock even though they don't have any on-hand...

so that is why i can't put a fake stock on it, i add sometimes, this based how many new ones i received.
Hi Andy I just received an email from AliExpress asking for ID information? Social security, bank statements?

Order Number :
xxxxxxxxxx0898
Reminder :
In order to validate your payment, please follow the instructions below and file an appeal . We will respond to your appeal in about 1-3 working days. Once your card/account information has been validated, you may go shopping on our site.

Can you explain to me what this is?

What happened is you clicked a bad link and ended up somewhere you shouldnt have, or your router has been hacked and you have a bad dns server that is redirecting you to malicious websites. Hope you didn't give any info. Give it another try and pay very close attention to what you are clicking.

Aliexpress has been known to demand identification from some people before letting them pay for orders, but the reasoning behind it is unknown. People say they generally accept identification that has sensitive information censored (such as social security numbers). But you do have to be sure you know who you are dealing with; some scammer could easily send you an email pretending to be literally anyone, and ask you for this stuff.

I'm very temped to get at least 4 of theses cameras, and may get more down the road. I'm replacing my crappy foscams. I do have 1 question, with cyber Monday just around corner, is there going to be better deal on Monday vs buying now?

If you give your Social Security and Bank statements to a Ali Seller, than you REALLY will get what you deserve.

:p I know that, I am little bit into cyber security;), I just love these cameras and want one but the idea is to help prevent theft not hand it to them

Aliexpress does have sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday... their biggest customer is North America so... Not as big as their 11/11 day sale though.
