Replying to [Admin]:yup cannot agree more. Just one quick reminder. Ah everytime before you want to open a letter of credit or may payment by credit card, pls check out the supplier's company info. And never ever make any payment up front to anyone unless you know him/her personally.

Replying to [santahw050]:Looks like Putian City is the heaven of scammers and criminals. Everything they sell is
either bogus or fake, but worse, most in Putian city ask for advance payment and then as
soon as they receive the money then suddenly their phone numbers change, their titles and
positions change even the website they were doing business with change. Yet, some of these
so called traders are listed with Alibaba as not just gold member but as Trustpass member.
I am not sure where the reputation of Alibaba goes into picture from this. I have recently
been scammed by and taken my money and no goods were shipped. I like everyone to know and
be careful when they do business with this particular group. The tarders name is:
Huayi Trading Firm
website on alibaba = http://sportshoescn.en.alibaba.com/
The individual scammers involved in this trading firm are
Mr. Chunhua Ou
Mr. Jianxing Zhu
Mr. Derong Chen
Mr. Hexing Huayi
Mr. Hongguang Huo
and others. This trading firm (and the same people) also do business with other names such
as:
www.Shoeskycn.com
www.Sportshoecn.com
www.Moboem.com
and so on.
Please look for these individials' names and those websites and firms when doing business
with them. This is simply a group of thugs and criminals that will take your money and may
not ship any goods or inferior or fake goods to you as they did to me.
I have written to Alibaba a few times. I am yet to hear from them.

Replying to [Admin]:I have recently made a large purchase from a trust pass gold member. I have not received any goods or tracking number as of yet. I feel Alibaba could make good use of its buyers experiences by creating feedback and rating systems like ebay. There should also be some form of punishment for inappropriate business practises. As alibaba grows it is important to keep the site working towards reassuring its safty, after all it is normally a good amount of cash that the buyers are investing with. Please if anyone else feels the same write to alibaba expressing this. Thank you and good luck with your purchases.

robin6662,
Thanks for telling us your experience and suggestion. Alibaba now provides rating system in feedback form. Hope you can make use of this feature. And for advanced rating system like Ebay, we are now developing, and it will be benefited to all of our members sooner or later.
