I used to do business in Taobao, selling some pc eletronics, in Taobao, nearly 100% payment is pay be paypal.

Now I also want to start business in Alibaba, but I am not quite familiar with international trade rule, for example L/C, FOB, CIF...

I just want to start small amount business here now, as everybody know, the less order, the less risk, (also less money I can make). I have two questions:
1. Payment The payment canbe in LC, TT, also PAYPAL?
2. Transportation The goods I selling is heavy, usually more than 5KG/PCS, which is the cheapest transportation for me?


Thanks a lot!

Replying to [Iris008]: if the order is small, I think you can ask the payment by west union or Paypal.
