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?

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.
Ali express is alibaba. at alibaba you need to find price list and then contact and buy but in ali express you place a direct order
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.
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!
