I am a Silver Key member and have been for years. I have been doing business Internationally for over 25 years. (Sugar, Urea, OIL, Copper, Cement, etc.)

I use TradeKey for initial contacts many of whom I eliminate after the first contact.

I do not know what experience you have in dealing with international cultures, but you might want to consider that some business cultures believe that if they can get something for nothing from you, they are not being unethical but smarter business persons.

There are business people that take advantage of those who appear to be ignorant for their own gain. You have to have a feeling that a deal is wrong and have the fortitude to walk away before you invest too much of yourself and your resources into it. This comes from experience such as, never pay for anything in International Commerce except through a Bank Letter of Credit. Don’t know about BLC and how it works, then you should not be in the Trading Business.

Hi, Be very aware trading on Tradekey.com. I have done two deals on that site and both turned out to be scams. They were both Silverkey members. I wanted to purchase Apple iPods. The first company that claimed to have the authentic product was beijing gere century invests company. As soon as they got my money, I never heard back from them. I reported the fraud to Tradekey and they pretty much did nothing. They said I had to do my research as a buyer. I contacted them back and asked what was the point of going through their site if their "Third Party Verification" meant nothing, and they didn't even bother answering. They just gave the scammer company -20 points and as far as I know they are still listed on Tradekey website. The second company that I only did a sample order and they still scammed me and I never heard from them was guilin bingshi electric CO.LTD. Be very aware of trading on TradeKey.

Hello i have been scammed throug alibaba a company that is a gold supplier here they are yantai hiaxi trading do not do businee with them  but i have had sucessfull transactions with yantai xite tradinc co they are legit gold supplier and the quality is awsome but there is another website that has its own escrow and it is www.tradetang.com  and they have been awesome so  try them and i would deal with any company that dont accept paypal or an escrow account

i am sorry to hear from you this bad news.

But in China, 90% supplier want to make a trust business.

It the price is lowest , you shall pay attention.

It a adage in China:  it is no will happen when a big frog walk in a street by himself.

Response from Tradekey : Nothing, they are useless !!!!!!

How do you report scammers? how come they don't have rating level from costumers such like ebay, positive or negative feedback on each company.



Pls anyone deliver my message to alibaba and let them do that as soon as possible because like that you can solve lots of problems, thank you

Replying to [apel23]: WOW this is a newsflash!!!! By all things known to man how did you think you were going to buy Apple Ipods cheaper in China?

I would like to appeal to you all and all who might be seeing this reply from me-please do not buy any thing from China.They might be cheap-but you will end up spending much more for that product in the long run.Problems occur right from DAY 1.An

Another request-please do verify any CHINESE company before you do business with them.Most of them are frauds.

Regardless from which country the product is sought after one have to be vigilant and indiscriminately careful, thus do not just generalise and blatantly blame CHINA, even INDIA to the US has its share of con-illusionist.

“Another request-Please VERIFY any [profanity] company before you do business with them. Most of them are frauds.” and I’m not just trying to be INDIAN...
