I went on Tradekey and Alibaba site 2 days ago looking for electronic deals & all I have received emails from are Suppliers from CHINA that do nothing but SCAM people, specially if you live in the USA and are looking for that great deal. Their prices seem way to low to be real. Also if they don't accept PAYPAL or Ship COD do not Buy from them because then you have no leverage when they rip you off. They are ripping people off left and right &Tradekey won't do crap! These electronic Suppliers will give you a bunch of reason on why they cant take any payment except Western Union or Bank Transfers thats because their is no way to get your money back or find that person after they rip you off. My suggestion is if the Supplier DOES NOT accept Either PAYPAL or Major Credit cards or deliver COD. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

THOSE COMPANIES ARE NOT REAL ‘COMPANY’. THINGS ON INTERNET ARE VITRUAL, FROM THE PAYMENT TERM I CAN TELL THIS IS ILLAGEL. CHINA HAS A TIGHT CONTROL OF FOREGIN EXCHANGE. CHINA EXPORT : 1. EXPORT CAN ONLY HANDLE BY EXPORT AGENT / FACTORY WHO HAS EXPORT LICENCE. 2. THE PAYMENT NEED TO DEPOSITE TO EXPORT AGENT / FACTORY BANK ACCOUNT. IF YOUR SUPPLIER IS DOING IN OTHER WAY, MEAN IT IS A SUBMARINE EXPORT. NO RECORD IN GOVERNMENT DATA.

I recommend a good supplier which I always using... www.caltechmall.com (wholesale China mobile phone, China discount electronics). It wholesale china mobile phones and other electronics. Very good service.

Hi Ken, I am a business owner in Australia looking to import electronics to Australia. Was wondering if you can email me regarding your services! kmelectrics@optusnet.com.au
Thanks, Kristian

However, as a Chinese person, as you seem to be from your English, you will also know that there is a huge market in fraudulent documents; such as company registration certificates. To pretend you don't know, when almost every person on the streets here knows, is plainly dishonest in itself; at best dishonest to yourself, and at worst, dishonest to any readers of this post. And as to making friends with Chinese people particularly in a business forum such as fobshanghai.com (which seems to have been closed down - at least I can't access it from Beijing); then I would say, that greater care need be taken, as one is dealing with anonymous sources in a forum, and their motivations are their OWN. Your fourth point regarding not buying from the lowest priced, rather from the best service, isn't valid either within the confines of this discussion; as one doesn't know who offers the best service unless one can find suitable references on them. Consequently, I advise any prospective purchaser to require references from other foreign companies the prospective seller claims to have dealt with: name, address, telephone, and email addresses. Regarding your point five, you state that because Alibaba requires 10K from its' SELLERS then they must be somehow reliable. That too is a weak argument. Firstly the 10K you speak of is Chinese Renmin Bi, or Yuan; and which equates to roughly 1,463.57 USD, as of the day of this posting. That is a small price to pay for the potential to scam tens and even hundreds of thousands from potential buyers. A small investment with a massive return. And an investment easily achievable by any half decent business person in China. Regarding the complaints procedure which ALIBABA follows, it is weak at best, and at worst has a ZERO deterrent rate. Moreover, ALIBABA virtually NEVER excludes companies from its' site even after complaints have been lodged, and the same is true of others such as TRADEKEY. Don't believe me? Go visit their forums, and see how many are complaining about monies lost, complaints made and registered, and inaction by ALIBABA to strike those companies off their lists. For further information on protecting yourself when trading in China, please, view my previous response to the post: all people from china are crookes and which you'll find at number 6 in the list. I'm not sure why it has me as being UNREGISTERED, as I was registered at the time of posting. Still, it's there for you anyway. All the best, Ken Stone
