For making good trade with international customers there must be a mutual and firendly understanding between the byer and the seller. It is some times difficult, because of all the promesises which is been making from the seller - some just want to make a few $ - and others is trying to establish a long term busines relations - and it very difficult to see, who is who.

So an effort must be done to secure the buyer  - and the seller must be ready to compromise about payment for example recieving 50-60% of the amount - and when the buyer is satisfied, he can pay the rest. It is a matter of trust, which has to be build up - but it is very relevant - and the biggest task, is the cultural different and undertsanding between buyer and seller - here I think of Europeans buying fom China etc.

So something must be done to inform both parts on that subject, that there is a different in what seems to be the right solution in the busines between buyer and seller.

Can't agree more, mutual trust is most important,at  the principle honesty and trustworthiness


Why are so many company's in China cheating - why don't they have a broader sense of long term business - why are they cheating for a few $ - when they could make a lot more. Is it about learning them the way to do business - or is it a question of learning how the market economy works - for if they don't learn it, they will be out of business in the long term.

Oh yeeees... This is the questions I am always asking myself - why chinese companies are often trying to cheat you more than to establish long-term cooperation based on reliability and responsibility. My day has started with a note from a potential supplier that I shall pay more than agreed for sending samples. Despite detailed and long negotiations about the size of samples, their number and weight; despite I DID pay already to express-delivery I am said I have to pay extra money as they made mistake at calcualtions! I wonder what is this? No any respect to the potential client? No responsibility for their actions or just cheating nature?..
