    Thanks for your valuable information,Poparocean. I knew lot of Chinese goods were very cheap from Alibaba, Taobao, etc, but some suppliers are scammers. When you paid the money in advance, the scammer would trick you asking more extra cost with excuse of the Customs trouble or sending wrong goods, etc. Anyway, it is better to verify the suppliers before making any transaction.

    Useful tips! Chinese suppliers play important roles in international trade and identifying their legitimacy will prevent the buyers from being deceived.

    How neccesary is it to hire a native chinese to visit the address to verify it? Or is it one of those instances when it doesnt matter. I always have habitually but I have always wondered if I was being too paranoid.

    Hello,

    What can you do to protect yourself if you cannot fly over to China to investigate every potential supplier that you come in contact with? This article from Global Sources lists down what to watch out for when buying from a supplier online.
