My name is Robby Eaves. I’m from Austin, Texas in the USA. You may know me in the forums as Rizzob. I found Alibaba.com while searching the Internet for ways to cut costs on products that I previously bought through wholesalers.

Although my background is in distribution and sales, I found it easy to search the forums and find the answers to all my questions. My advice for newcomers would be to do diligent research, ask many questions and don't rush into anything.

Since joining the Alibaba forum community, I’ve enjoyed the exchange of information and the variety of viewpoints and opinions expressed here. Since becoming a member, my sales have increased and I look forward to expanding my business in the future.

i am chinese businessman, in Alibaba,i know some trandfriend,thankyou!

Replying to [payment]: the first thing i learned on here was to never never never never send money by western union. im only buying 2 samples of mp4s wich is costing me about 140.88 all together with bank and shipping charges, but i must of spent about $50.00 in phone bill checking out the company and about 4 hours of internet reserch on the company, and im still nervouse about them. but i think they are the real deal.just because a company gtives u a web site, dont just type it in the adress line
try to also find that comany in alibab make sure numbers and adress match look for discrepencies. for intance trubulll xxx company is not the same as trumbul xx company. trumbullxxx comapnay may have a legit site, and the fake trubulxx company may send you a qoute and ask u to send money to the trumbulxx account, and all along you thyink its the real trumbullxxx company. these guys are crafty but if you pay attention you can catch them.
