Wholesale electronics are very popular for online sellers. It's a trend that has developed with selling online. However, for newcomers, it's easy to get caught up in wholesaler scams. How to be smart and safe before decide to start buy and sell wholesale electronics online? Would you guys please give me some advices?

YES BECOME USE PAYPAL, BECOME PAYPAL VERIFIED AND DEMAND THAT YOUR ONLY PAYMENT METHOD MUST BE THRU PAYPAL. ANOTHER THING IF YOU ARE A SELLER (I AM) THEN YOUR CUSTOMERS MUST BE PAYPAL VERIFIED AND THE ONLY SHIPPING ADDRESS WILL BE THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN VERIFIED IN THE BUYERS PAYPAL ACCOUNT. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT PAYPAL WILL PROTECT COMPLETELY THE BUYER AND THE SELLER. I HAVE LOST OVER 2000 USD BUYING AND PAYING THRU OTHER METHODS. DON'T WASTE TIME ENERGY AND MONEY WITH SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T USE PAYPAL. HOPE THIS WAS USEFUL AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BUYING ELECTRONICS, I SUPPLY ORIGINAL IPHONES. THANKS, HAVE A NICE BUSINESS LIFE AND BE CAREFUL!!

To rose_zhou,

When you purchase things on line, you have to be more carefuly. Because we have no idea the one behind screen is a fake. I guess there are 3 ways to verify your potential supplier.

1. Have a careful check of the company information on B2B website you are browsing. By checking the information they offered,  you may identify whether they are professional or not.
2. Enter the supplier name in the search engine for another search. If the supplier is of certain scale, there will be information on the Internet. You may find useful information.
3. You may consult someones who has bought similar goods from this potential supplier. Get their comments on the potential supplier.

Hope this 3 small tips could be of help to you.

Will

Hello Guys, In fact, I have been scammed by one of the fake agents in Alibaba who are selling mobile phones. All of the agents here are using unsecure payment methods such as W U, T/T, etc... So my advise for you guys is not to do any business using such methods

I have a friend who is doing business by a special way. He is not a trader, either work for any trader company. He finds resources for dedicated oversea buyers. When the oversea buyer have a requirement or some online products interested, he ask my friend to find or confirm that product for him, to get the most cost-effective product from all the factories.

Finally, the contract was made between the buyer and the factory, my friend got his bonus from each business (not too much).

My friend works just as a chinese employee for oversea buyers but without salary. This business way is different with trader to trader or online business, it can save cost for oversea buyers and guarantee the resource quality at the same time.

In fact, Paypal is good for small quantity, 5 or 50pcs for wholesale, but while you import bigger quantity,  the seller will ask you use T/T or other method, because in China the Paypal fee is very high, to withdraw cash from Paypal need high fee, to receive money from overseas also need very high charge.

         For bigger quantity, we suggest you hire some quality inspection agent to check the quality for you and assist you to avoid the risk.
