If yes, it can not grow to be today&#8217;s largest B2B platform to source suppliers (via <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/how-to-use-alibaba-rfq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RFQ<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or direct search) and products. Millions of buyers are not so stupid as to do business in a fraudulent marketplace.<\/p><p>However, importers, especially those new to Alibaba, easily assume that it is a scam, due to extremely low prices and a series of disputes discussed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trustpilot<\/a>.<\/p><p>First, let me tell you <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-why-is-alibaba-so-cheap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">why Alibaba is so cheap<\/a>. Products are mainly sold in bulk. And most Alibaba suppliers are in China, featured by competitive raw materials and manpower costs.<\/p><p>Besides, purchasers usually think it\u2019s the responsibility of Alibaba once problems occur. Note you are actually purchasing from suppliers on the site. One bad experience just means the supplier you order from is unsafe. It is unfair to tar the entire Alibaba marketplace with the same brush. Just like your purchase on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>, you might encounter a bad seller, but that does not represent the entirety of Amazon sellers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-622ea3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"622ea3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Can You Get Scammed on Alibaba?<\/h2><p>\u201cScam\u201d is going a bit too far. &#8220;Dispute&#8221;, I think, is more appropriate. Among all the so-called &#8220;Alibaba scams&#8221;, 90% comes from time difference that hinders communication in time, language barriers, different communication methods, and insufficient confirmation of product details when dealing with Alibaba suppliers.<\/p><p>For example, some buyers confirm samples by photos and videos sent from sellers. And then they find bulk cargo different from sample products. Such a way of sample confirmation is not enough. Because you are likely to miss items to be confirmed, especially when purchasing electronic goods or products with many parts.<\/p><p>Most suppliers are not likely to think of these things. Because they follow up the orders from different clients simultaneously and can\u2019t focus all their attention on your order, especially when your order is small. So buyers should take the initiative in confirming each detail with your seller.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d543449 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d543449\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8a30459\" data-id=\"8a30459\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a345b31 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a345b31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-arrow-alt-circle-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zm0 448c-110.5 0-200-89.5-200-200S145.5 56 256 56s200 89.5 200 200-89.5 200-200 200zm-32-316v116h-67c-10.7 0-16 12.9-8.5 20.5l99 99c4.7 4.7 12.3 4.7 17 0l99-99c7.6-7.6 2.2-20.5-8.5-20.5h-67V140c0-6.6-5.4-12-12-12h-40c-6.6 0-12 5.4-12 12z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7bcbae8 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7bcbae8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Next, follow me to check out the top 15 traps that often happen when <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-how-to-buy-from-alibaba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buying from Alibaba<\/a>.

But that may not be very comprehensive. You can ask the patent agent for help. If you&#8217;re selling on Amazon, the simple, direct way is to check whether your desired item is the only version on Amazon. If yes, it\u2019s probably a patented product.<\/p><p>Above all, you must check if your desired product violates intellectual property before ordering. Don&#8217;t think that suppliers will actively verify it and inform you. What they do is to help you source or customize products as required, often without thinking about infringement. If patent issues occur, don&#8217;t simply think about filing a claim against suppliers or hiring a lawyer to sue them, which is a waste of time and may not get compensation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fdf0f93 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fdf0f93\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fcf039\" data-id=\"3fcf039\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cf9f0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9cf9f0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"a3\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Scam 3: Give You Competitive Quotation but Increase Price After Placing Order<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e821fa9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e821fa9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI created the order, and the supplier changed the price of my order to a 50% higher price.

However, some suppliers use such excuses to raise prices.<\/p><p>What we suggest here is to negotiate with suppliers to set a price range and put the agreed into your order.

Generally, the above extra customs payment fraud is rare, but still worth your attention.<\/p><p>There would be a list of excuses, for example, asking for extra custom bonds payment, or providing you with the fake tracking number.<\/p><p>If that happens, never rush to make a payment. Keep cautious and verify given information. You can also check the <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-trade-terms-get-quote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trade term<\/a> contracted with your supplier. For example, the trade term DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) regulates your supplier to be responsible for import <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-what-is-customs-clearance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">clearance<\/span><\/a> and pay for all the import duties and taxes.<\/p><p>As for <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-customs-bond\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">custom bonds<\/a>, remember no such charges in China.
