So hopefully you read it and think to yourself "Yeah I should probably do that and will next time" as it will save you lots of bellyaches and frustrations imo.
DHGate is as you know a Chinese wholesaler source list for Chinese wholesalers.
Now if you know anything about Chinese, you know that they both make quality goods and cheap goods but that in some cases they are sheer knockoffs.
So the first thing you should do when you login to DHGate, is find the goods you want to sell and then contact the seller.
The seller/distributor will normally be immediately responsive, and under your "my messages" tab will start a comprehensive dialogue with you about the goods they are selling.
Keep this going for at least a few hours, and if you sell jewelry immediately ask this question:
"Does the set come with its original box, as well as warranty certificates included?"
Most of the sellers are fairly honest.
They will say either "Yes it does, and we know you will be pleased." or they will say "No it does not, but its still good"
If you get the answer "No it does not, but its still good" then unless the seller is joking, run away from them like the plague and BLOCK them from doing business with you!!!!
Further, warn other people off of sellers like this who try to haggle a deal. If they say no, that means the item is very LOW QUALITY and is a knockoff.
If they say yes, it could STILL be a knock off but you are likely not have trouble with it because it is CERTIFIED and 98% of the risk is immediately cut out.
So proceed to question 2.
"Does it come with its ORIGINAL box and is it in stock?"
Believe it or not, SOME sellers will rip someone off by simply sending them something in stock because the item they ordered is OUT OF STOCK. So you need a yes or no.
If they answer "Yes and the box is included" you should proceed to order one copy. If they answer "no we do not" run from them like the plague yet again.......ward anyone off that one!!!!
Finally at the end you gotta ask them how old the item is......Age makes a huge difference....with anything I've found.
If for any reason you still got a question, you can contact DHGate anytime day or night they are a very open service.
But if they answer all three of the questions, and you know your seller, the risk is much lower and at that point just order it. Order one copy and if anything happens, report it. If its good then congrats, keep ordering from them! And recommend that one but stay away from the others and ward people off 'em!
Always remember to ask how many in stock when you ask whether they have something in stock, think before you leap!
And save time and alot of energy by checking the number rating under their feedback rating. This is the powerseller rating, and if its 20 or above that will give you a good indicator of whether they will be a problem or not.
Even if they have a high 100 feedback rating, if their powerseller rating is low or non-existant(the number below that) then you are not advised to deal with them. Check them out, always ask before you order and always be thorough!
This has been your how-to guide to DH Gate hope its been helpful. Remember they always answer questions, so definitely don't trust anyone who seems to never respond. I learned the hard way.
