Thieves!
On their website they say you will not be charged until you use a service. I wanted to explore they were offering so I just created an account with alibaba website and they tried to steal money from me!!! But luckily I'd the card blocked before they could steal it. Anyway beware of the thieves and don't do business with them. I don't think anybody does any business with them anyway, they are just exploited to do that.
And no; I DON'T WANT MONEY BACK, as you could not steal anything, I just want people to know not to do business with people who probably killed and ate their own owner.
what happened?

I just wanted to try the model through API, small models are not good enough so I wanted to try large one, and on the alibaba website I saw that I would not be charged if I proceed with giving my credit or debit card information but as soon as I set it up I was charged 1 dollar for that. If you are going to do that without notifying people then it does sound like theft. Anyway, I believe there should be a warning before someone is charged. For example here is what oracle cloud is doing:
They are clear about it. Anyway, I feel I got angrier than I should have so I would remove this thread after you have read it (let me know). But also update information in alibaba website (or tell them they should, if you could, otherwise confusion will rise).
Is that really a huge problem? I got charged when activating Google Maps API.
@supercharge19 I see. They should definitely clarify this on their website. Fortunately, this will not result in an actual deduction.
A small startup charge sounds normal in the credit card world, as a 'test holding fee'. Normally it gets refunded later.

Should have been mentioned however that much is.
