- Actually, Alibaba doesn't. Alibaba is a B2B site where businesses post selling and buying leads. And just like there are rules, people break them.
For instance, on Yahoo, it is against the rules to post the sale of body parts or people, yet every month someone puts a posting for their kidney, etc.
On Alibaba, you are only allowed to post items your company will buy or sell that are legal according to international laws. And like anywhere else, individuals post items that are inappropriate. When they are identified, they are removed.
I am an importer and exporter and I have dealt with several of the businesses that are on Alibaba.com. Don't read propoganda and take it as gospel truth.
