Folks are not neccessarily looking for free service, They just dont know where to look.
Not only is there a language difference there is also a difference in deciphering the characters that make up the language.
Most businesses dont want freebies they just want to know how and where to start in their quest for information.
Talking about researching companies. dont forget that a company could be trading one day and suddenly up and vanished the next day, So I would think. One should physically check it out. do a real life inspection and make sure all is as it should be.

Great write up.
I find it amazing that people still fall into the trap of scammers.
I personally visit every supplier i do business with in China and even employ 2 people ( based in China ) now to source products and visit the manufacturers prior to my visits.
I even produce a product specification sheet for each and every product I purchase .1 for the manufacturer, 1 for the customer and 1 for me. any deviation from the specs then the product is refused. we should all know that chinese manufacturers will try to save a cent there and a doller here by changing something that can effect quality and performance.
All buyers should make the effort to visit who they buy from, costs can be recouperated over time

Hi Cali,
As a new member to Alibaba, I have a perspective on this topic that you may not have considered. You say that some of us may not be ready for international business and that is probably true BUT...we are being forced into INTERNATIONAL business because almost everything is being made in China now. I have an idea for a product and have been doing my own research to find help with the product. I would love to find a manufacturer of the product in the USA, but so far all I find is China companies. So I have realized that there is little choice anymore but to get involved in international trade with China. As we are forced to deal with China as the world's manufacturer of gadgets, many of us that don't want to be involved in international trade have little choice but to try to figure it out fast. I hope you and all the seasoned international business people of the world can give us newbies to the international stage a little slack until we educate ourselves.
I thank you for pointing us to the forum, but I think it could have been said a little nicer for us new people to the world market. I don't like being in the international market place any more than you like reading my questions. If you don't want the new guys on your site, keep up the harsh comments and the new ones will go somewhere else or give up. Either way it doesn't seem good for the future of international business.
The world is changing and we weren't all international business people before, in the past we could get by just being national business people.
On other forums I have been involved with, when people ask repeat questions someone just mentions the earlier post for reference and lets it go at that. I like that response better. Maybe Alibaba.com can figure out a better way to educate all of us that have little choice but to jump into the international marketplace with China.

That's what a forum is made for, duh! Google does not tell you anything. but the reviews, experience and feedback from fellow buyers help much more.
Mister "I am smarter then anyone else" - get down your high horse and stop giving people stupid lessons. we are not your kids.
GOOGLE what a FORUM is made for. and then you'll understand why we ask those questions!
