I have lost money in scams using W/U and Bank wire, every day many people contacting me from china but being told of many "fly by night" factories and fake products e.t.c, how can someone begin to purchase safely from there? Does it come down to visiting a potential factory personally? Not everyone can do this.

chat with them ,and feel whether they are serious.
do remember,the price decides the quality.
it also depends on your fortune.
because Paypal charge too much procedure fee,even serious suppliers don't accept Paypal to pay.

you can do some investigation during web,call the alibaba service department to help you.
or you can find big company of well know brand to fulfill your business,of course,the price will be high,but this is more safety.

I am sorry to hear that. If you are purchasing out of famous brand items, I'd be happy to help you.

If you are purchasing brand items, God bless you.

I don't mind purchasing unbranded items but problem is I would have to know first that they can be sold on ebay before I should purchase and be left with stock which has no value which is why I am seeking dropshipping of unbranded items but I can't find a supplier who is willing to let me auction the item first to see the selling potential .

of course it is impossible for all buyers to come in person.
I think you can trust the supplier who don't supply electron.even though they are don't sell electron,but if you have a good relationship with them,they will kindly find you the best electrons as they can(though they may not have the ability to supply you that,at least always tell you the truth).
good luck and be alert when you purchase electron.
