I have made a few inquiries but have never recieved any replies. I think maybe my inquries have gone stright into the junk mail so they are not seen. Does anyone else have the same problem ?

Which kind of products you have inquired.

I do not think your messgae have gone into spam box because since now,I have not found any inquiries went into my spam box,besides that,many spam went into my inbox.[em2]

I think the problem may caused by the products your inquired,maybe that kind of products were not made by them so suppliers would not like to waste time on it.This is the most possible reason.

I think this is your problem only. I think it is a problem face by many supplier and buyer alike.

To buy or sell a product, especially when there is no pictorial representation, the phrasing for the posting is very important. Just like all advertisement, people will be attract if you ads are special, catchy, witty, fanciful, etc., depending on your product.

Many Chinese faces problem with their English languages presentation, in area like structure, grammer, spelling and comprehensiveness.

Relevancy, proper channeling and approach will also determined whether people will reply (example, you do not want to place your posting for procurement of a single unit  item to wholesale supplier, of course no one will reply). There is more detail in making your posting atractive and therfore effective then I personally feel can be reply in this column.

My suggestion is that maybe this website should setup a department that will assist people in their posting to make it more effective and to direct it to the proper channel. But I know that the task will be humongous.

your inquiry will not  come into junk mail box ,on a less or few extent,we always reply

inquiry email soon ,in my opinion ,why some supplier not reply you ,amy be due to your

product not discrible detail ,some supplier may consider you as a not serious buyer ,

in these days ,i have received this kind of mail ,all product that i put on alibaba,he want to

buy all.it is my opinion ,[em2]

Think this seem to be quite unusual. We got replies though it is not always as much as we expect. As per my assumption following reasons could be few of the reasons why you do not get any response at all.

1. You might not put your detailed information in the inquiries on you or your company which might create an impression as if you are not a potential buyer/seller.

2. you might have written too much, kept no room for a question from the counter part or too less to make them understand what you need.

3. You might not be very specific on the inquiries you made. I.E. specifications, quantity, mode of payment etc.

4. Non of the Alibaba web site visitors could recognize the products or services you are looking for!(very slick chance)
