What's the problem when you post your products?
Please note that Chinese sellers are not currently offered free
memberships. We find that you have registered a free buyer account on
our site. Thus you cannot post any selling information, including products
or selling leads. You can only post buying information and contact suppliers.
If you wish to enjoy our seller service and contact buyers on our
site, you may register as a paid member: Gold Supplier. You can learn
more about Gold Supplier membership at: http://www.alibaba.com/trade/servlet/page/static/paid_memberships/gs/gs_introduction
or call our hot line at: 0571-26882688 directly. On receiving your
application, our service team will contact you and assist you in doing this.

Situation:
registered with alibaba & posted product. a day later it was approved when i checked "My Alibaba" .. says .. "On Display". I then went on to "for Buyers" section to see what my product display looks like BUT i can't find it. Then i tried to search for it under "Products" .. can't seem to find it either.
Questions:
1. do i need to post in selling leads
2. why do u have expiry date in selling lead
3. does it mean once it expires i cant sell tht item again?
Pls guide me
If you post a product and the product is published online, then you can search it in the "Products" section. But if you post a selling lead and the selling lead is published online, then you have to search the selling lead in the "Selling Leads" section. We find that you have posted a product "Aloe Aloe-Aloe Vera" and a selling lead "Sell Aloe Vera Drinks, Aloe Vera Gel". Both are approved. The product is already published online. You may source it at: http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?Type=&year=&month=&location=&keyword=&SearchText=Aloe+Aloe&Country=MY&srchLocation=&srchYearMonth=&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=0.
But your selling lead needs at most 24 hours to be published online. After that, you will be notified by email. Then you can start your search.
The selling leads are set for temporary selling needs. Thus they have valid date. Once they are expired, they will be removed from our site. But you may repost the expired selling leads. To do so, please take the following steps:
1. Sign in at My Alibaba http://us.my.alibaba.com/;
2. Click "Manage Selling Leads" in "Selling Tools";
3. Select selling lead in "Expired" status and click the "Repost" button to re-post your selling lead.
