Alibaba is a good source for finding suppliers of overseas goods, but you still want to be careful. Do contact the supplier first and make sure they seem reputable, and don't make full payment in advance of receiving goods. Here are some tips:

You also may want to try start out using escrow from Aliexpress, where they money held by an independent third party until the transaction is completed satisfactorily to all parties:
