UK customers need to be aware that when using Paypal to pay for purchases Wish.com hold on to your logon AND password data so that when an additional purchase is made, there is no need to enter this information again!
Your first reaction may be "great" but think about it. If you used a smart phone to place this first order and that subsequently gets lost or worse, stolen, it means that the thief can order whatever they want from wish, change the delivery address(which you can do at confirming the payment, and the first that you, who lost their phone, will know about it, is when Paypal advises you that you owe them a large amount of money for this thief's purchases!
Ebay operated a similar arrangement when Paypal was owned by them but provided a simple link for this to be removed when Paypal was sold off as a separate Company.
Also worth noting that Wish.com does NOT need to adhere to UK law in respect of "Distance Selling", so you lose that protection as well.
Lastly, my second purchase transaction which highlighted this Mal-practice, was advertised at £14.00 but Wish.com applied for £21.00, the additional costs are added AFTER you agree to buy and their cancellation process is a joke, they do not appear to agree to refund the costs of cancellations but "offer" to hold the money against future purchases.
In my considered opinion Ebay at least provides local to UK assistance, Wish.com Customer help is useless, as other posters have already commented.
These same comments will likely apply to Bank details, if these are provided for purchases.
