Why should Alibaba provide these payment as they are not the seller, you say safe payments, so L/C is not safe?
Why can you no sleep when you have paid? you mean you are not sure about the supplier but sent money anyway?
If business is done in the right order you can sleep very well, to get any guarantee for your payment would come more expense and i am sure in China there are not the sysytems in place or the suppliers would not agree to these terms.
As for sending any products from China to buyers and waiting for payment only when the customer is happy would never happen in the export market
Agent in China, supplier visits, product inspections, is the way to deal with suppliers in China.

Replying to [Erin8110]: Ok, I am not necessary a buyer in China, I sell to China, but L/C is always safer than PayPal, particulary since many suppliers in China do not use PayPal due to the high costs.
If sellers can only get their money when the contract is fullfilled, it should give you a good night's rest.
Otherwise, travel and visit them.

I understand your concerns, but it is not alibaba's duty to come up with a universal solution.
I do however believe that they should do more to combat fraudsters. A quick look and you can spot loads, but to the untrained eye, people are being conned by the dozen as they are new to the scene.
There should be some sort of a feedback system, but again this would be open to abuse.
