I have used it to find cheap prices on things I don't mind waiting for but I know some people use it to find things for drop shipping. They track popular sites for things that sell then sell them too.

Good find. I'm not much of a Chrome user so I checked if there was something similar for Firefox and came up with this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...ge-on-ali/
There's an interesting marketing sidebar for this plugin. It says:
Quote:We also want to point out that by installing the extension, you allow developers to receive a cashback from your purchases as a reward for using the extension.
I'm guessing they include Ali Express affiliate links in the results. If this is the case I have zero problems with this and think it's a good tradeoff. They create and support the software and make a commission only when we buy something...and we don't pay any more. I also think it's a good strategy to model.
Now back more on topic...I also found this FF plugin that searches images on Amazon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...on-amazon/
eBay:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...e-on-ebay/
Is it possible to find products that seem to be selling on popular sites and see if you can buy them cheaper on Ali Express and then check if you can sell them on Amazon and Ebay at a profit?
