Question:
We would really like to know about quotation prices and specifications
Answer:
When a buyer asks for a quotation, almost all inexperienced exporters quote the buyer by providing price and shipping information only. The price list is important, but it is only one component of the entire quotation. When a buyer asks for a quotation the seller should always provide a pro-forma invoice. A pro-forma invoice is an invoice sent in advance of the commercial invoice, which is the final bill that the buyer agrees to pay. Some of the advantages of pro-forma invoice to the importer include to show to his government for foreign currency allocation, opening letters of credit and most importantly, to have a detailed information on the transaction that can help him plan. An accurate and professionally submitted pro forma-invoice can help buyers to make a decision and agree to the quotation.

Replying to [Resources]: I received a ProForma Invoice from Putian Licheng Footwear Co Ltd. A lot of good it did me. I paid over USD$10000 and the money was gone out of their Bank Account the very next day and I've been fighting to get something back ever since along with lies and deceit from the Company.
I've sent a Court Of Law document to Alibaba and I was notified it was sent to the correct department.
By the Rules, Regulations and Terms & Conditions set out by Alibaba that because I've provided a Legal document against Putian Licheng Footwear Co Ltd. their Gold Membership should be suspended until the issue is resolved.
Why then is this Company still Trading on Alibaba long after I provided Alibaba with the Legal document against this Company.
Your ProForma Invoices aren't weren't the time it takes to send them in an email.......and neither is Alibaba who protects the fraudlent Gold and Trust Pass Members above innocent Buyers.
It's these Gold and Trust Pass Members who keep Alibaba so wealthy. Alibaba couldn't care less about the thousands of Buyers who have complained about being ripped of by Chinese fraudlent companies. Alibaba protects it own.
