    One of our Taiwan business partner considers to open a wholesale web mall in English as dhgate or aliexpress.
    Products are from China and Taiwan mainly.
    Just would like to do some small survey here about payment tools.

    Paypal is surely a option.
    Just notice some of these mall also accept western union.
    Not sure how many american will use a western union as a pay method?

    If you ever bought wholesale products from Chinese webshop.

    What method you used to pay for Chinese web stores?
    What kind of wholesale products were?
    And your location is?

    What method you used to pay for Chinese web stores? Paypal will be the best option for payment combined with Credit Card payments. Since Paypal is not supported to all countries, it really helps someone to make a payment using his credit card. Although paypal supports credit card payment but you need to be a member, try considering authorize.net
    What kind of wholesale products were? Sorry didnt get this
    And your location is? Lahore, Pakistan

    Paypal and Western Union is the most used I guess, but if you are buying from a chinese supplier for the first time, I would suggest using the escrow system that sites like alibaba.com offers. It is much more safer for you as the customer.

    China has many strict rules and regulations for selling or buying. I suggest you to go in Alibaba. Their you can find better results. Also you can get in touch with some chinese who can help you out.

    PayPal and WesternUnion are your big name payment processing companies so I'd just stick with that. People tend to think names that look unfamiliar are sketchy and they'll back out. I'd model something after Alibaba, considering it's the best. DHGate sucks.

    We also use PayPal in our site. So, PayPal is really the great option for your site.

    I always prefer paypal is best and safe payment method. I was with Aliexpress using Escrow services, which was considered safe. But recent times, Escrow services are not favorable with new suppliers. I usually do my payment through paypal with ChinaBuye, which is easier and safer. They are safe and offers no shipping cost. I just pay for my order through paypal and their services are fast, i get their acknowledgment fastly about my order and payment. A good supplier service gives confidence of their payment mode, so i prefer paypal is best!
