Every forum says to avoid WU and TT like the plague. The only problem is this seems to be the most prevalent way to do transactions. I'm just looking to get some samples of electronic components  and can't hop on a plane to China just  to check out a few companies. I'm not trying to buy cell phones, Dell computers, knockoff  Ipods or any of that other trash that seems to attract the scammers.


What would be the best thing to do. Already have set up an escrow account and nobody wants to do business that way either

you can register an Taobao ID, and you can buy things there, the paypal will help you a lot.that is a great buying&selling place!!

good luck!

before i pay tow times by western union to supplier in alibaba and every time i pay by western union the suppliers did cheat me after then i can not finde supplier on alibaba and can not money back for me, and those supplier is gold supplier and alibaba can not money back for me, but alibaba made terminate for account for those supplier, so western union is very bad mpay method 

is this one trust-able?

this is might be my 1st transaction here

They are a good method to send money. Paypal is good but not for everyone.  Not everybody has access to paypal, it is not accepted from many countries, just specific ones

Yes, LC is more expensive, perhaps it is more reliable. But may be it isn't worth paying so much. I also use TT and I am afraid of being cheated too.

www.szhff.com or www.en.szhff.com Eroda GPS, anybody know it?

we made only good experiences with WU - however avoid PayPal if ever you can. Once they cancelled a transaction of money received a few days after we sent out the goods; tried to contact them but no chance; another time a customer of ours tried to pay with credit card- the payment was refused as "suspicious transaction" !! In addition Paypal is very expensive

 

UK based foreign exchange company Tor FX provide far better rates of exchange than all of the above mentioned and funds are secured via Barclays Bank - let me know if you would like to know more

L/c credit is the best way and may sure you insure the good, also add as intruction to the bank that evident to comfirmation of shipment from both the shipping company and supplier should be presented before payment
