If you take some right measures, it is absolutely safe and legit to avoid Alibaba scams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Suppose you\u2019re still unsure about the safety and security of Alibaba.

I put all of them together so that you will know what you need to pay attention when you buy from Alibaba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Now let\u2019s start the main things here. I am going to talk about the Alibaba scams and issues from 4 different aspects: suppler, sample, payment, and production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 18pt; color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Avoid Alibaba Supplier Scams<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">The first aspect is related to Alibaba scams and issues you may experience in the process of finding suppliers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">There 2 main types of non-reliable suppliers on Alibaba. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Some suppliers will <strong>post hot selling products<\/strong> with very low price and MOQ to attract you to contact them. But actually they are just selling very poor quality products or fake products. After you place order with them, <\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Some of them just have a very <strong>bad attitude<\/strong> and don\u2019t want to communicate with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">Some of them may <\/span><b style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">ran into <\/b><span style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"><b>financial <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"><b>difficulties<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\">\u00a0during the trading process and they may use your deposit money o fill their fiscal gap or to do something else instead of making your products, which may cause you troubles since they cannot guarantee you a normal production process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\"><strong>So How to Avoid Those Alibaba Suppliers Scams?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Tip 1<\/strong>, If possible, you can hire a 3PL to visit their factory and do a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/china-factory-audit\/\">factory audit<\/a> if you can.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Tip 2<\/strong>, just step away from the suppliers that cannot communicate well with you since a good communication is always the most important thing in your business. Without a good communication, you can not get the product you want and it could even be a disaster in the end.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Tip 3<\/strong>, an overall suggestion to avoid all these potential issue is to try to deal with larger factories. You can normally get a pretty good feel for a company\u2019s size by browsing their Alibaba page. Good signs include like Gold Suppliers status \u00a0for 5 years or plus, a large staff (specifically sales staff) number, and just an overall polished appearance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 18pt;\">Avoid Alibaba <\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">Samples<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 18pt;\"> Scams<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">The second aspect is related to Alibaba scams and issues you may experience in the process of ordering samples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Three typical scams<\/strong> you should be aware of in this case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>First<\/strong>, you may get a very very good sample, nearly perfect, but this may just be a little trick played by the supplier, they send you a perfect sample, however, when you place a batch order, you will notice that the quality looks totally different compared to the original sample you received. To deal with this, the best way is to order couple of samples instead of just one and see whether they have consistent quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Second<\/strong>, you may receive fake certificates to demonstrate their products comply with the regulations you are looking for. Some suppliers will just claim they have such certificates in order to attract you to purchase from them, however the certificates are created by Photoshop. Some other suppliers will promise to provide you with those certificates after placing order.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>The third<\/strong> type of issue you may experience is ordering an infringing products from the supplier, but the supplier did not do it intentionally, since they may not even know that their products are infringing. In this case, do the product research by yourself carefully and check whether the product is infringing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; color: #ff6600;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Avoid Alibaba Payment Scams<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">The next aspect is related to Alibaba scams and issues you may experience in the process of placing the order and making payment. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Again, there are three typical kinds of Alibaba scams here.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>The 1st\u00a0kind of scam<\/strong> is not \u00a0the scam by a supplier, instead by a hacker. They will use the email on behalf of the supplier and tell you the bank account has been changed and ask the client to send money to another account. What can you do in such situation? You can try to reach out to suppliers via phone call, skype, WhatsApp and double check with the supplier whether changes are real.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>The 2nd kind of scam<\/strong> is that seller will ask you to send money to their personal pocket by giving you special price discount and they will cut communication and disappear after receiving payment Before Production or Delivery.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>The 3rd kind of scam<\/strong> is that seller is trying to steal your money at the time of payment via western union or \u00a0some other similar payment methods without assurance. If you do payment through these ways, although you may still have a reference number for your transfer, if anything happens, your money cannot be returned.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Overall, to avoid this kind of Alibaba scams, the <strong>best way<\/strong> is to pay through Alibaba trade assurance. Paying by PayPal (specifically by a credit card and not bank transfer) offers you very strong protection. If you are paying via wire transfer, make sure the payment is to a company bank account in China. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; color: #ff6600;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Avoid Alibaba Production Scams<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">The last aspect is related to Alibaba scams and issues you may experience in the process of product production process. Several different scams that may occur here.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>First<\/strong>, the produced product does not have a quality that can match the sample that they sent to you earlier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Second<\/strong>, the supplier may substitute the inferior material that they promised you earlier with bad or lower quality material to save cost and make extra money.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>3rd<\/strong>, the supplier may miss the lead times they promised you, like it takes 120 days instead of 30 days.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>4th<\/strong>, you may find the quality of the product deteriorates over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>5th<\/strong>, you may also experience product copyright issues, the factory may give your product information to other competitors or they use your design to make their own money.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>The last Alibaba scam<\/strong> you may experience is that the factory will ask for higher price using different reasons and threatens\u00a0you by\u00a0not delivering your\u00a0goods.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">This is not uncommon. For example, the supplier will say the price of raw material has increased a lot and\u00a0have to change the price in order for them to start the production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Well, this might be true, but sometimes the reality may be that they can not bear the loss of the profit due to increased price of raw materials\u00a0and they even want to\u00a0delay the production\u00a0to wait\u00a0for the price of raw material to go down\u00a0again.\u00a0This may affect your selling plan and you\u00a0may\u00a0miss out the best selling seasons, especially for the seasonal products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">So overall, how to avoid these Alibaba scams that can happen during the production process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Here are few suggestions. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Always try to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/manufacturing-contract-in-china\/\">sign a confidentiality contract<\/a> with the factory and <span lang=\"en\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">learn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/intellectual-property-in-china\/\">how to protect your product intellectual property rights<\/a><\/span>. Confirm with the factory that the copyright of the OEM product mold belongs to you. In addition, after placing the order, do follow up and understand the progress of the production. \u00a0And the last thing, do a pre-shipment inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"LC20lb MBeuO DKV0Md\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_Have_Been_Scammed_on_Alibaba_What_Should_I_do\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><strong>I Have Been Scammed on Alibaba. What Should I do?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Contact the supplier and ask for a refund.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Be polite and professional, and explain that you believe you have been scammed. If the supplier is willing to cooperate, they may be able to issue a refund.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>File a complaint with Alibaba.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Alibaba has a dispute resolution process that can help you get your money back. You can file a complaint online or by contacting Alibaba customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Contact your credit card company.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">If you paid for the products with a credit card, you may be able to dispute the charge. This will allow you to get your money back, even if the supplier is not willing to cooperate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\"><strong>Report the scam to the authorities.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\">If you believe that you have been the victim of a criminal scam, you should report it to the authorities. This could help prevent others from being scammed in the future<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/i-got-scammed-on-alibaba\/\">How to Avoid: I Got Scammed on Alibaba?<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alibaba_Scams_Real_Case\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto, palatino;\">Alibaba Scams Real Case:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">Is there any way to file a complaint against a Chinese or Russian supplier in the U.S? <\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">I got scammed on Alibaba; I want to file a complaint against a specific person\/representative of the factory who I met in the U.S. at an expo in Nevada.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div class=\"kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">It&#8217;s a long story, but we lost a lot of capital in marketing; they changed their mind over a night after a long time working together.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">They hold on to our inventory, didn&#8217;t ship it for a week, and then refund the money and gave our inventory to our competitor.<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">We did all the work for US certification, and FDA cleared, etc&#8230;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">It&#8217;s was a long-term Collab to get the products ready to launch in the US, but they give it to someone else&#8217;s at the end.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">I don&#8217;t have a solid contract; it was more of verbal agreement and email threads. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: roboto, palatino; font-size: 13pt;\">I&#8217;m hopeless to get my money back, but I do want to put an end to the unfair and misleading business practices they have.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Avoid_to_Get_Scammed_on_Alibaba\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; font-family: roboto;\"><strong>How Avoid to Get Scammed on Alibaba?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nYg3pz3MDB8\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">How to not get scammed on Alibaba?

The title means that the supplier has a premium paid account status; hence they are genuine. Some scammers on Alibaba cannot afford these payments; therefore, you can quickly know they are not real and can&#8217;t be trusted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>2. Use Verified Suppliers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">When you find a supplier with the title &#8220;Verified Supplier,&#8221; it means that the recommended bureau has conducted an inspection on the manufacturers&#8217; firm and verified that they are genuinely carrying out the business. You can check if a supplier has been verified by checking their profile logo and analyzing why they got their verification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>3. Use Trade Assurances<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">You can check whether a supplier has been accepting all trade assurances before getting into business with them. The platform is used by Alibaba to place and manage orders and payments. You can use the sign to predict if a supplier is trustworthy or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>4. Check the Suppliers\u2019 Transaction History\/Level<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">You can always check the supplier transaction history on Alibaba because it&#8217;s indicated by an orange diamond next to its name.

Alibaba is an open platform, but people conducting businesses there cannot be trusted easily; hence it is your duty as a customer to do these background checks for your safety. When you check trade shows data, you can know whether the supplier is genuine because scammers didn&#8217;t attend trade shows. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>12.Use Google Search Engines and Global Sources Profiles<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 13pt;\">Before getting into business with anyone on Alibaba, you need to do some background check on their company.
