Is it worth the money to become a Trustpass member?
Post 1 of 5
I have been thinking about becoming a Trustpass member but it becomes very expensive upgrading memberships on every trade website that I am a member of. I would like to ask other Trustpass members if they think it is a worthwhile investment. Please give me your feedback. It would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to [vick324]:It really depends, we've been golden member and trust pass user for over half a year. receive reasonable amount of inquiry everyday, but only 1% of them seems OK. Dont waste money if you are still struggling.

Worth or not depends on a lot of factors. You may have a look at the success stories shared by the other TrustPass members at http://www.alibaba.com/trade/servlet/page/static/success_story/tp_home. If there is any TrustPass member who is viewing this topic, you can share your experience or idea here.

i had suggested to alibaba and i am puttin git here also. it would be good if alibaba allows the free members to buy inquiries . they can charge a fee per inquiry and if the memebr is interested then they should pay for that inquiry . this way if seller can contact buyers they feel are geniune . not only that since most of the buyer inquiries which ask for response from paid sellers are from free members . so there is no verification if the buyer is really wanting to do buisiness or just collecting samples adn also quotations. till the time tits mendatory for buyer also to become paid member alibaba should allow free memebrs who are seller to purchase on inquiry basis. initially it may sound very nominal if its one usd per inquiry but it could generate a lot of cash flow if 100 sellers purchase inquiries every day

Replying to [vick324]: NO IT IS NOT WORTH THE TIME...........MONEY & ENERGY SPENT HERE.

No, it is not helpful....
you get inquires........inquires.......& inquires........but some are even fake customers....also alibaba network is not helpful like other companies who I have worked with in the past year or so. I believe I being a trustpass is wasted....

You can buy directory from other websites & deal with those customers....maybe luck will be better than breaking your head here.
