Quoting from [wilhelm]:Quoting from [Safe Trading Admin]:
By using your own Rules and Regulations and only one staff member who controls the advertisements of new GOLD "SUPPLIERS"
you have to delete every day a minimum of 10 !Product Restrictions and Prohibitions
28. REPLICA AND COUNTERFEIT ITEMS
28.4 Postings offering to sell or purchase replicas, counterfeits or other unauthorized items shall be subject to removal by Alibaba.(but nobody do it)Repeated postings of counterfeit or unauthorized items shall result in the immediate suspension of your membership.(is not possible, when not before removed)
But I understand, you want not destroy your business, a few foreign victims a day, seems for Alibaba acceptable !

his name Jiuzheng Zhao company GUIF Trade www.guifatrade.com is SCAM. i was lost money send western union to Jiuzheng Zhao from china
Quoting from [wilhelm]:Quoting from [Safe Trading Admin]:
Could it be that some of them not extended their membership (payment for Gold), because they are long time recognized as scammers and now have registered under other names ?
If this should be sure, Alibaba better do not announce such a removing as act of protection for buyers, it will throw a very very bad light on Alibaba !
As sample, the criminal work of Pide and Beter Trade, above also named, they were recognized as scammers last year in August and changed their names easily from Bide to Pide and Peter to Beter in October, with one and the same company register number for both companies !

Yes, its happening time after time. scammers get another listing.
I lost money in a transaction with indoniesan scammers that with emails and
phone calls and promise of long business relations gain my trust and stole
my money without shipping my purchase of water Ionizers, we reported them
to alibaba, which did remove them for being scammers, now within 10 days
I have found them back on alibaba running the same scaM using a different
name. INDONESIA IS FULL OF SNAKES & SCAMMERS! BEWARE.
Not even the system of charging for becoming a member seems to be a good alternative. Scammers are willing to pay for a membership as they know they will get their money back with all the trading scams they will do. One thing I have notice (and why I think the scammers are stupid) is that some of them say to work in big companies and factories but the email address they provide you with is only hotmail or yahoo.
Apart from that, some people in this forum have mentioned that we are alone in trading in Alibaba, but, as one member said, if Alibaba is sending emails and ads to become a gold supplier in order for everyone to trust me and that I can trust gold suppliers/buyers for sure, so then Alibaba should be held accountable because the offer they give is false. It is false that gold suppliers are trustworthy.
I think it is possible to sense when someone is a scammer. I think people who are serious about trading or doing business know, even by common sense, that you need to keep a good communication and relationship with your counterpart and never be pushy or wanting to do things in a rush, that is just desperation and to trade with people who are desperate I think is not safe. And that because people don't think clearly when they are desperate. In this case the scammers are desperate for money. There is no need to damage people or lie to them in order to get money. You can make money come to you while treating well to whom you are trading, but it seems scammers all over the world don't know that.
Quoting from [Safe Trading Admin]:Hi, wilhelm,
Thanks for your reminder! We will not display companies that discontiniue their membership with us naturally. It is not the way we do things. We just want to warn new buyers here that these are not our Gold Supplier now, since we continuing receive complaints or inquiries about these companies.
As to the problem you have mentioned, some of these companies might register as Gold Supplier under different names. We will improve our A&V procedure to reduce the happening of such things. And we welcome constructive suggestions from our members.

Quoting from [00000]:I am not sure how is your country's law work. To me you are the one who made the deal buy from supplier, though Alibaba is the platform owner, how you expect Alibaba involve in your decision so as the seller conduct ? As one of the member given an example in the other forum. Since all car drivers on the road they are licensed to drive, why not you cross the road blind ? Anything happen in an accident, you blame the relevant body that issued the license ? Or you make a report to the police the right channel ? Come on be logic, think the same way as you are in your homeland practice.
You are a free member, pay nothing to Alibaba, you expect when you make your own decision and asking someone to bear for the consequences ? Where is this logic come from ? Respect Alibaba is the owner of this platform, you are not , you can advise only. It will be good practice for you to read the "Terms of Use" just below of Alibaba webpage.
The logic of your argument is, at the very least, amusing.
You seem to be comparing Alibaba to a driver's licensing authority. So let us proceed on that basis, shall we? If, as you've asked, since all car drivers on the road they are licensed to drive, why not you cross the road blind? Anything happen in an accident, you blame the relevant body that issued the license? Or you make a report to the police the right channel?
All car drivers on the road are not licensed to drive. All are certainly not issued the "Gold Driver" designation by the licensing authority.
Anything can happen in an accident and relevant bodies have been indeed been held accountable for negligently issuing, or failing to revoke licenses when these were held by drivers who subsequently caused an accident.
One does not, at least in my homeland's practice, procure a "Golden License" by passing a bit of graft to the issuing authority. Perhaps this practice differs according to the country.
Alibaba issues "Gold Supplier" designations and actively encourages members to obtain trust p explicitly for the reason of instilling confidence in members. It therefore leads or misleads its users or members to believe that certain suppliers have particularly met with its approval.
Alibaba has its own internal procedures for investigating those - apparently quite frequent - instances in which members do not meet their obligations and therefore performs a function analogous to a policing authority.
It would seem very much to me, given the above, that Alibaba is not merely a platform, as you maintain.
