Traders called manufactures and also fax machines
Post 1 of 3

Can some intelligent person please tell me why companies that call themselves "International" only have their fax machines on during their business hours?

Next question: Why are the traders in Alibaba allowed to advertise themselves under manufactures?  They aren't manufactures. This is misleading. I won't do business with misleading people.

Looking forward to a reasonable answer.

I haven't encountered that problem about fax machines.

I agree that traders should not be able to list as manufacturers and I also agree that it is best not to deal with those types of suppliers.

Alibaba in China does make a point of visiting suppliers in China so they should be easily able to determine real manufacturers. Perhaps it is another issue about paying members being given preferencial treatment.

I am not sure why legitimate paid members don't complain about this problem,

I think it's got nothing to do with "International", it's about "scam".

You can always reach someone on the phone in a real and legitimate "International" company.
