Selling on Alibaba

[Esk247]

Does anyone have much experience of selling on Alibaba? E.g. we manufacture our own products and want to sell but I've only really heard bad information about it, usually Chinese scams..does this work the other way round too e.g. with fake orders for our products?

As with any business transaction, be it buying or selling, you need to conduct due diligence and do your research to ensure that you are entering into a business deal with a reputable business partner.

Just make sure you don't use your normal email address - you get emails constantly and they NEVER stop !

Or, to put it another way - "Don't blame us Guv, we can't be bothered to check the people who pay us money to sell, as long as they pay us, who cares !"

Or am I being harsh? feel free to flame

We are also a manufacturer in China,I want to say there are many good Chinese suppliers,but not every one.

You should find some one you can trust and place an trial order at first.Usually,we suggest our customers place small order to know more our factory and see if our quality and service is to reach their requests in the first cooperation.At the same time,you can judge your supplier if he is worth your trust.It is just my personal opinion.

I agree with you, not all Chinese suppliers will doing bad business with you. If you are serious buyer who will do a big deal then I recommend to visit their company first to see how they are running business and if you feel good, it's your choice next
