I believe Alibaba Group are one of the biggest e-commerce companies in the world?

Their brand isn't widely known in the UK though as we're not one of their target markets. I've no idea what their service is like.

They have a fairly mixed reputation. Everything from allegations of theft and poor service through to glowing recommendations and even an award, if I remember correctly.

alibaba.com is more for buying larger quantities and bargaining with the sellers. Usually no prices are given up front. (Life of Brian, anyone?)
Their sister company aliexpress.com is more like eBay Buy Now, where you can buy one (or a few) units at a given price. I have myself only recently started using aliexpress.com, so I can't tell how well it works - I haven't received any goods yet FWIW
