thanx for that info, i have learned so much since joining salehoo a month ago and still really don't know anything. i have always been put off on chinese suppliers, b/c of all the horror stories. glad to see another perspective on chinese suppliers. is there any tell tale signs of a bad chinese supplier, or good supplier you could share w/ me and the rest of the newbs? i really appreciate all the knowledge and experience the salehoo staff and members share w/ everyone, its priceless, best $67 i ever spent
they do pre shipment inspection and supplier verification and it works well for me.
i'm looking at something on dh gate right now, his feedback is 100% w/ 62 positive fb. and im i can pay w/ paypal, so thats assuring, what kind of import fees am i going to have to pay for a purchase just under $200?
Link hidden: Login to view You can purchase smaller minimum quantities from this site and most of the traders take Paypal and some even offer free shipping. I've used two suppliers from here and both supplied and delivered to Australia within ten days. Due diligence, as always is advised. Easier to deal with than DHgate or Alibaba.

thanx planes, i have read that thoroughly. paypal wouldn't protect me in that situation? i have no cc, and no credit card company in their right mind would give me 1. why wouldn't paypal protect me?
thanx for the info, since i have bad credit, its gonna be paypal for now, i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. the seller im im looking at seems legit, i'll update when i go ahead w/ my purchase, have to wait for some stuff to sell 1st
Hi customersplanet ..... I would prefer not to mention the names of the two suppliers I have used, suffice to say they supply health and beauty items! There are thousands of suppliers on that site and if you wish to try them out, please exercise the contact options available to you on the site. I have found I received fast responses from any supplier I contacted before making small purchases. I have now received larger orders and a larger discount - larger than mentioned on the supplier listing, just by asking nicely!!!
MAybe give us some more info about this site.
I notice most of this sites page views come from Asia and through Baido which is Asias equivalent to google.
But I dont like its page rank of over 1.3 million and I don't like it hiding its inception date.
Also, it seems funny their page visits are bigger in Asia but its servers are in the US.
Where do you live that you need to use them and for what services.
im finding a bunch of stuff on alibaba from indonesia that i would love to get my hands on but they only take western union (which i have gambled on 1 and waiting for delivery) and the others only take wired bank transfers. i know most of the risks associated but are there any other tips on dealing this way, or a shortcut to checking legitimacy other than everything over there is a minefield?
good point... ill let you know how this deal turns out. i should have mentioned it it is actually my second alibaba gamble and the first one paid off so sweet i swap birthday cards with the guy that supplies me. but that one was with a paypal transaction and i didnt know if the western union thing was a tip off. i had another deal in the making but they want a straight up bank transfer and they dont have a website. i think i am going to let that one slide.
