HC-06 is US$3.46 on Ebay. Arduino Nano v3 is US$3.29

Ebay has a pretty good return/refund policy. And then you can fall-back on Paypal too.

Anecdotal evidence, but I have had far more success with AliExpress' dispute/buyer protection system than eBay's.

eBay is laughably bad at disputes. I have received several items from eBay which were DOA, and my options were to take a very reduced refund, or ship the item back to the seller at my expense.

Same issue with AliExpress, upload evidence (pictures/video) of the DOA item, full refund no further questions.

PayPal is another nightmare in of itself.
