Buying and selling through Alibaba. What about us introducing a transactional platform like an escrow service? Good or bad idea?

Replying to [Admin]:Not possible.
1) Increase price for Buyer
2) Many Chances for Alibaba to loose it's credibilty
3) Hard for Suppliers, As they have to sort out for there Tax rebate, as they get from government for import export (Money coming from outside in China)

Replying to [Admin]: I suspect this would a far more difficult and ambitious project than it initially seems. If Alibaba wants to gp dpwn this route, I would suggest breaking it down into a series of component functions and introduce these functions on an Individual basis. This way you get to see which features a) work properly b) are actually utilised by the memebership. Then you can remove the teething problems etc.
Personally, I think I would value more Alibaba providing more Company Information for Chinese companies, Details of Directors, last published accounts etc.
I might also suggest sub contracting any settlement/payment service might be advantageus in the longer term.

ALIBABA the site itself says business, business & business.
Alibaba is growing day by day and i love the type of development the site is providing.
There are so many thing where if a genuine client is there you can book spot orders.
Thus if other facilities introduced in this site to complete exports or imports it will be lovely.
We will save time and money at the same time.

That would be good. But, the million dollar question is how?
Sivaras has mentioned some good points. Among them, arbitration and litigation procedures as well as quality inspection systems are very crucial.
Thus, Alibaba would now provide the same services that a sourcing/buying agency would perform.

A great burden to Alibaba. For the profit part, maybe not

Replying to [Admin]: As previously said it would be fantastic if alibaba did an escrow service as the buyer and seller would be confident in doing a transaction. I would currently like to make a purchase but am hesitant just incase i get scammed
