Safe trading tips
  • Verify the trading partner's identity by checking his Alibaba.com minisite or research their company on a regular search engine to make sure it is a legitimate company.
  • Be careful of suspiciously low prices.
  • Be careful of suspicious payment requests, e.g. if a supplier asks you to send payment to another country which is different with the company's registered country.
  • Make a contract, invoice and other necessary documents.
