Google flights is showing me they are the cheapest for a flight.
Has anyone used this 3rd party Chinese booking website?

Just like all these travel sites (many are siter brands)
As long as all goes well, you will "usually" be ok. any issues there's not much to do.

How big is the difference?
If its huge i'd stay away just for that...
If its minimal I would stay away for that...

I was able to book on one of these type websites had issues when I made a mistake booking,  I made a voucher, the amount was more than i paid for the ticket and rebooked on elal and all was ok.
Don't forget you can call elal within 24 hours of booking and tell them your ta didn't offer protection for 29 dollars,
Many times when booking on these websites they are giving you away their commission but the value that's on your ticket can be way more.

I'm seeing ly.com come up much more often now on google flights. I purchased a flight through them. First of all, it's not instant. It takes a few hours for it to process and become ticketed. Also, I wanted to cancel my flight before it became ticketed, I chatted with them online, and they said they'll see if they cancel it and get back to me in a few hours. WTH. Then a few minutes later I get an email that my ticket was issued. and they instantly called me to tell me the same.

I told them that I had asked to cancel, and they said "so sorry dear", we can't cancel it. My question is, are they not subjected to the 24 hour cancellation law because they're based in China?

24 hour law is only when booking direct with the airline

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. Anyways, eventually they agreed to refund me, but it was a pain. Will know for next time.

back in covid published was like 750 I by mistake booked 1pm instead of 1 am for 700 on exploretrip, when l had problems canceling within 24hr of booking I made a voucher for 29 for a 750 value! (Assuming when the commission is much greater in higher class you should be getting that difference.)
