content: How many times I can do that? And by how much? And by how much should I extend, in order to get the item shipped by the seller and not get "scamed" by him?I have bought an item on big discount, and I want to get the item, not a refuund.

content: It seems unlimited, but the seller has to agree. BTW, in your case, I would extend for 30 days, if you don't get the item by then you probably woun't ever get it.

content: 30 days? It is suposed to arrive in less than that. -.-I was thinking like up to 5 days for extension.I don't think seller has to agree on anything. It is a bayer's option.Seller can not extend it, it can only ask a buyer to extend it.Seller is OK (100% positive rating). I have bought the item on 11.11. sale. The seller had 2.000 of those items in stock.I mean, I did not buy it at some super discount. But for me it was a very very good deal.

content: I live in Italy and shipping time from China to Italy sometimes is outrageously slow (60+ days) so I had to extend the processing time more than once. As long as you are within the processing time, you are protected by Aliexpress, so if I need to, I usually extend it by 30 days. If then you don't get the item and the seller cannot prove that it shipped it, you will get a refund without much trouble.

content: Processing time ends in 2 and a half days. It is processing time for item to be shipped. That is my concern. Once it gets shipped, I can wait. But in 2 days or so, if seller don't ship it, and I don't extend it, the order will be canceled automatically and I will get a refund. I don't want theat to happen, because I want the item.

content: I dont extend. The shipping time is usually some 40 days, if it does not arrive in that time, I open dispute, ask for full refund. 99% it will never arrive.Several times, when I opened dispute, the seller told me that the item got returned to them. They were just sitting on my money, hoping I would forget about it.

content: Extending the processing time won't make the seller ship if they don't want to ship

content: Because of 11.11. sale, they could be busy. So I don't want to loose this transaction because of this. That is why I want to extend, but don't know by how much, or how many times can I do it.After a bit of thinking, I believe that seller is happy with this price, because 2 coupons that I have used are not his, but Aliexpress' coupons, which means that they actually got paid that amount by Aliexpress.I have sent him a message about shipping. So I will see, but tomorrow will be less than 2 days to go.

content: My practical experience is that giving an one time expansion of a few days should not be a problem.Be aware, however, that the seller needs to agree. Cheaters might not agree - so better keep your finger close to the Dispute button and hit it before the time runs out!
