How safe is alibaba.com in importing?

Alibaba.com is the largest B2B platform from China.
U may find products with manufactories&trading companies.
It's a web show,like nairaland for u to know the sellers can supply u what u want.
U know the sellers and contact to discuss details,and then the business starts.
Business goes with careful everywhere.

You can use their escrow services if you don't trust the manufactures. personally its a must use. That way the manufactures don't get the money until u get your goods and confirm it ok

Use their escrow services or make sure that the company is registered with alibaba for more than two years. If it says first year, then forget abt them. Also, google the comapany to see if there has been any fruad complaints against them. or better still, get an agent in China to get ur goods from the company and ship them to you. I know a reliable Yoruba guy resident in guanzhou if ur interested.

They have safety measures which you can use but even the safety measure is not 100%

must come to china. to see the factory and the showroom.

example, you dont know the metal inside photo is iron or steel.

Be careful with Alibaba cos has a lot of Scamers.

Truly it's risky to use Alibaba,as many people have said,it's safer to get an Agent to do pickup for you and ship to Nigeria.
I can get you some of my partners in china or if you have any other reliable agent,you can get in touch with them.

hungry scammers are out there ready to chop ur money  

yes,  for retail business, small quantity,.

Alibaba? Be careful. Filled with scammers.

I cant tell you that alibaba is 100% safe but with the escrow facility, your funds can be safe until you get your goods.

I have been buying from alibaba. but there are things you need to know before going into any business thats to do with importing from alibaba or any other china b2b marketplace. check http://www.importersreport.com it contains every details you need.

Alibaba is a reputable and safe online trading outfit but be sure you are in the correct site before you deal. Scammers have perfected the art of duplicating reputable sites for their scams. Good luck.
