- If you’ve been following my blog and podcast, you know that I do a lot of my sourcing from China. But for many starting online entrepreneurs, traveling to China isn’t always feasible. So what can you do?
The good news is that you can get access to the world’s largest eCommerce marketplace, Alibaba, without leaving the comfort of your home.
It can be a great way to get what you need for less, but, just as you need to be careful in all your business dealings, you need to understand how to buy from Alibaba.

Can you buy products on credit from Alibaba?
Hi I have ordered a sample from a distributor with a gold badge with 10yrs, they have asked for my phone number so they can build a customer profile, is this safe to do so I’m worried as a phone number is usually information that is sold to scammers & telemarketers etc?
How do you hire the agent?

Damn you're good. It's honestly humbling to witness how far you'll go to end this madness. *Adriannotch* The compassion you have for the victims, and the people you know the scammers could be, and how you want everyone to be free of this sickening behaviour. It hurts to watch these videos, knowing so many people are scammed daily, but it's a reminder of the good which can be done by honest people in the face of such insidious perfidy. Please keep it up.
0:50 directly from producers
1:24 create branded products, creste custom products
1:40 work directly with manufacturer
working with 3rd party entity
1:55 alibaba is an online directory not a store front
2:50 extremly great advices following
Wow, good work! Your tone of voice and well-paced tempo kept me hooked from start to finish. The content was loaded with valuable information that everybody needs to hear. I’m particularly interested in learning more about the considerations when deciding between purchasing from Alibaba and buying directly from a manufacturer.
The downside of Alibaba is that the shipping cost is much higher than the actual product purchased
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggestion friend list so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere???
I think there is a reason for it.
Similar to Aliexpress
That's because that's not really the actual price so they yes the shipping fee to cover it
That why you order in bulk and the shipping cost won’t be that bad
Awesome video, you covered a lot I was searching for. Thank you for making this video

This is the best video on this I have ever watched.

very informative. Most questions were truly answered❤
But what's the way forward buying from different suppliers and getting your goods packed as one for delivery
Thank you for the information
Great information!!
The only thing that stopped me from importing goods is the complexity of the customs and epa requirements. Some suppliers advertise epa certified but epa says a lot of those are not due to some minor changes in the product. Maybe it is smoother with non gasoline powered stuff
Thank you for all this information. This video was very helpful.
Very helpful Thanks 👍

Do I have to have a business ein to import and is there any import taxes or anything I would have to pay at the port when the items come in?
Excellent useful information, thanks
Don't rely on everything said. I have personal experience and I am one of the victims of the biggest scam called Trade Assurance. Alibaba's commission is "BLIND" for all the clear evidence for the seller's agreement breach and they support the unfair seller. Their behavior is completely offensive. They will tell you they can not see the difference between one white bear and the other black bear. They just will tell you that you are not a professional like the seller is. There are no such Alibaba rules related to the professionalism of the parties and moreover on the basis of which they decide which one side is and which other side is not a professional. People without honor. I trusted Alibaba Rules and now I am bitterly sorry. I wish someone had told me this before concluding my deal.
Very helpful information thank you

What would suggest to be the purchase quantity for an upcoming clothing business?
Hi do you have to constantly buy that product or can you just buy it once
Wow that's a strong statement! What makes you think that negotiating the sample price is amateurish? From my own experience of dealing with different manufacturers over 10+ years, I think it's perfectly fine to do that and we did develop a good relationship with most of them. Some manufacturers open an higher price on their sample cost and actually expect a negotiation. This was coming out from the mouth of a sales rep after we became really close friend.
Because trying to negotiate a sample cost makes you look like a fool and not taking your business seriously. It's the cost to do business.

Investing in the stock market & crypto market is the best option to make a passive income. Virtually all the markets are crazy, most people pay more attention to the shiniest position on the graph, I'm keeping a diversified portfolio. !!!
Investing in stock is a good idea, a good trading system would put you through many days of success.
Very true, a huge part of my portfolio growth has come during this bear market. I've been able to scale from $120K to $370K in a short period of time. I basically was just following the steps and guideline from my financial advisor *PATRICIA DRITA JOSEFINA* as long as you've professional help, you're good to go
@@mohammeddumadi8323 That's impressive!!! I could use the expertise of this advisor, my portfolio has been stagnant..... How can I get started with PATRICIA DRITA JOSEFINA ??
*PATRICIA DRITA JOSEFINA* is the advisor that guides me, She has years of financial market experience and she is also FINRA & SEC verifiable, You can look her up internet &, message are there
@@mohammeddumadi8323 Thanks. I just searched her up on Google and I'm super impressed with her qualifications. Have considered her through the webpage to hear what she to say about my situation...!!!!
Thanks.

hello question, is there any safe way to pay to Pakistan suppliers in Alibaba? instead of using international transfer bank
Was trying to buy a mini-excavator. Contrary to what you're saying the price you may pay at the end may be cheaper, they have the excavators listed at very unrealistically prices.
When you contact them, they tell you that's not a real price. Then hit you with a huge price.

hi there , was wondering if you knew anything about this. i cannot get a hold of anyone of Alibaba but my son placed a big order and it went through but the problem is that when he goes to sign in on a desktop and goes on his phone to check the email address he provided it doesn't show his, it shows a weird random email address we tried to change it but a code is sent but its actually being sent to the "weird email" any suggestions?
Are chat conversations and commitments on the Alibaba platform good enough protection or should there be something more formal in writing when negotiating with these manufacturers?
Hi, how stories or many brands buying from China before Alibaba?
