Over the last few months, Alibaba.com’s products and services have been improved substantially. The goal, as always, was to provide additional value to members, and personalize the sourcing experience. Alibaba.com is now faster, safer and easier to use than ever before.

• Our homepage has been given a fresh new look.
• Our new search engine is even more efficient than ever by allowing buyers to refine a search by export destination, supplier type and product category.
• A Safe Trading Advisorssection has been added to our homepage to promote safe trading practices and trust between members. The section includes tips on how to identify trustworthy trading partners and information on how to source securely on the Internet.
• The layout of supplier storefronts has been improved to make navigating between mini-site sections faster and easier. Some of our members say that their Alibaba.com storefronts are now even better than their own websites!
• Gold Suppliers can now post an unlimited amount of products on their sites. Since this change took place, over 200,000 new products were posted online in just two weeks.
• New information such as contacts, forum posts and account settings can now be accessed from MyAlibaba accounts. MyAlibaba account security has also been enhanced with HTTPS encryption and a personalized security question.
• The new Buyer Directory is designed to make sourcing even easier. Buyers can list the products they are looking for in the Directory, which is available to Alibaba.com suppliers. Suppliers can then contact Buyers based on the requirements listed in the Buyer Directory.
