I have just noticed this too. No warning given to free members! It is expensive for Trustpass and from what I hear, not worthwhile. It is a shame that Alibaba does this to so many businesses. I guess I will be using TradeKey more often now.

Whats the great in the reply, paid membership couldn't be afforded by many people, I will wait for the lead to be old then I will contact the buyer.

whats a big deal.

We will be forced to move to other b2b websites and the traffic enjoyed by alibaba will definitely be reduced.

I am convinced with you. what I think alibaba has designed the free membership for the buyers not for sellers, But the thing is there are more then thousand b2b portals I liked alibaba most because of its features, earlier also they have limited the No. of enquuiries to be sent to prospective buyer was 30, this was acceptable but now you are not at all contact buyers neither you see the contact details of the buyers.


Well the no. of enquiry in a day is limited at ec21,  Indiamart  and ecplaza also, but you are able to see the contact details of the buyer, but this way we are really help less.

The recent change to Buying Lead access is due to the growing number of requests from buyers for greater security and quality feedback. As such, only premium Alibaba.com members can now access Buying Leads within the first 7 days of listing.

Post your products online and let buyers come to you!

My mistake, I did not see the notice there. But the change happened very quickly after the notice was posted. Little time to prepare or to consider Trust P *.

But Trust pass is an expensive affair, Also I couldn't understand the idea behind the replacement of products with sale lead, now it seems there is no point in regularly updating your sale lead, and then why to post sale leads, it should not be there.
