Alibaba

So what's the deal with Alibaba? Is it an actual good site to do business or is it just some shitty Chinese site made for Chinese? Anyone here do any buying or selling on it?

are you kidding? its one of the largest wholesale distributer in the world.

i tried it

for some reason i couldnt even enter any credit card information so i couldnt buy anything

ever

lol small minded amerifat.

>biggest commerce site in the world.
>more revenue/profit then ebay + amazon.

Is there like, a waiting period or something before you can buy on Alibaba? Everything I try to purchase, whether it be Visa or literally any other payment method, I get "credit card payment is not supported for this order."

What does this even mean, I can't find anything on Google about it. I've been looking for several hours now.

tried buying some shit on there before, was pure chinese garbage. tried buying the same item twice from two different sellers before i gave up. products were completely misrepresented and the sellers were a nightmare to deal with.

first one came in the wrong color, seller immediately started swearing at me and accusing me of being a liar and a thief when i asked for a refund. it was supposed to be black, was light tan. i took pictures in multiple different lighting conditions and sent them to him and the alibaba resolution team. he stole those images and began using them on his listing which he's still using last time i checked. after a few weeks of back and forth dealing with this miserable prick alibaba granted me a refund which caused the seller to resort to more petty insults andeven death if i remember correctly.

second one was of ridiculously inferior quality, and thats putting it nicely. was obviously spray painted and made of a hard plastic (was supposed to be soft, flexible rubber). again started the resolution process and was again blasted with personal insults and blatant lies. i just cut my losses at this point and vowed never to do business there again.

they can probably get away with this overseas, but their marketplace would not be in the least bit acceptable in any civilized country.

that being said, i have swing traded them on a few occasions and they are one of the holdings in a few ETFs i invest in. im getting my money back one way or another.

Alibaba is legit. Also dhgate is the same sorta shit. Used to order bongs off there for like 1/10th the price they'd be at the smoke shop. Vape shit as well

Some mixed signals here.

Alibaba is for big bulk orders. Try AliExpress first.

aliexpress is actually the site i () used. one thing he said to me, ive always wondered what it meant. 'da ni ma le ge tou de bai chi, da pian zi'. anybody speak chinese?
