Question

I'm trying to buy cheap little things in a large amount from alibaba.com but i don't know how to do that?

Does it requires to be a registered business to buy things? Can I buy directly from distributors located at China? Is it safe to do that? How do I communicate with the distributors? What are the customs or taxes to be paid?

5 things a dropshipper should know before dealing on Alibaba:

1. If your looking for Cheap Authentic Mobile Phones, Cheap Game Consoles, Cheap Laptops. I think you've come in the wrong place. There is no such things as Too Good to be True price for this thing. Most of people on eBay selling low low price maybe a victim of scam in the internet since most of eBayers now deal with dropshipping.

2. There are some dropshipping, light bulk, wholesaler that are approved by eBay, this is advisable... though membership to this services are not free.

3. Deal with Company that you can verify, Alibaba is a home of millions thieves so be sure before you make a deal with them. Find a way to verify them.

4. Most Scam will keep repeating that their price are good! this is the way they distract your doubts. Real company mostly focus on product quality if you are dealing with them, NOT the PRICE <<< NOTE: After I post this, some scam may read this so they might change the way they sell.

5. If you find they are unprofessional, this is a sign of risk, If you find them that they are rushing you to buy their product, beware. Online Marketing is not that simple. Real Online Marketeer should even send you some brochure of their product directly to your home. Real Online Marketing promoting all of their product not just the product your interested in. They should have all resources you need. Certification, Samples... they must be prepared to whatever you need. They should not make an Alibi. You are the customer. If they are real they will do their best to make you us one of their client. Don't trust this line > "We want to build a long term relationship with you".

It doesn't require a business to buy. Yes. Not as safe, I mean you never know what could happen. Taxes are like normal like here or none at all. Good luck
