Going through dhgate and aliexpress I come across many lasers that I know for a fact are not true power, but the people still list them as 100% real, power guaranteed etc, and since I now have a lpm I can actually check the real power. Also both websites have a dispute system, has anyone tried it and is it actually helpful?
I was wondering that if I buy a laser that I know will be "not as described" and once I receive it I dispute against the seller for a partial refund, would that be ethical? or would it just be me trying to cheat the seller? Since I know the results will be much lower, but then again the seller is also lying about the power and since MOST buyers dont have a lpm, the sellers feedback is really high like 95%. Also the few sellers that are honest and know about true power suffer since if a person unaware looks at a 200mW for $50 and a 1500mW for $35 ofcourse he will go for the $35 one, but in reality the $50 is probably 200mW or close but the other one will barely make it to 100mW
