My greeting to all community members,
after paying attention to discussions and expert advice from matured contributors I have reached a decision to travel direcly to china to first look at the situation and then decide to do the buying my self, walk from shop to shop and choose items that I think are good for my customers.
But I couldn't surmount some problems by myself, for example, I'm not going to purchase every thing from one whole-saler, so there is no possibility of L/C. and I don't want to have it (atleast for now ).
-how do I get invitation from china to get Visa?
-how should I pay them? Don't intend to take cash with me . Do they take credit card?
-shall I pay T/T? how is it done? From what I have learned in the forum , I need their company account, not personal account. to transfer the money from U.S. My fear is , what happens if the seller denies payment, after receiving the money transfered to his account, how can I get evidence that he has recieved the money? Do I have a receipt or proof to show he has been paid?
-how do I pay the translator? customs broker, freight forwarder, the sea freight?
-how do I pay the hotel?
My questions may sound silly to those who are more experienced in the art of the business, but for me a complet newbee,
it is a big thing , so please have understanding for me. This a critical time for me and I need your support, I call upon you to bless me with your expert advice.
Waiting to hear from soon

Hi,
Don't be shamed to post any blue hand's question here,it is all welcome,for we should help each other,or sometimes we also need others' help,right?
Ya,it is may hard to convince that if the supplier do have received your money after your really transference.To avoid that, i am sure you should find somebody reliable.Generally speaking,a good and legal company won't do that,but sometimes we really couldn't be luck to keep far away with the scammer for someone really good at lies.That may the key of dangerous for international business.
Make sure that some of the work will be your supplier's part,so maybe you shouldn't worried about.Or if you want to do business here in China by yourself,maybe all the question will be solved by your assistant that you find in china.That is so immportant,so also a very reliable is needed.(Maybe you may find somebody here in a proffesional foreign agency).
So good luck,may you have a good trip in China,and don't be afraid,just goes on.Have any questions,you may post the questions here.Or you may contact me for help.Maybe i can help you as my best.
