Dear Admin,

It's a great idea. It woud be beneficial to all sides - the buyer, seller and Alibaba. It could be offered as an option for members doing trade deals and some rules have to be set, such as product coverage (I don't think it is practical for Alibaba to deal in petrol, gold, and the like, for example), minimum order sizes, authorised international bank(s)/couriers/freighters, etc. Perhaps it can experiment at a pilot scale in the beginning to see what are the nitty gritty requirements to make the full-transaction platform work well.
Thanks for this relevant idea.
