Smallvolume.com Review: when marketplace looks like wholesaler;product, services & scam review

Smallvolume.com looked like a wholesaler. In fact, it was much like a marketplace. It used Amazon.com`s model to recruit lots of suppler selling on its website. Without emphasis, most of buyer would believe that they deal with the smallvolume.com.

About Smallvolume.com

Smallvolume.com was hold by a taobao seller (Just like Ebayer in the west). That was why we thought smallvolume.com was another wholesaler at the first time. It operated site touchkiss.com.
In its website, smallvolume.com claimed to be operated and owned by a Hongkong Company with another operation office in Singapore. It should be their offshore company, which may use for banking and settlement, what was more, use a non-china company invest in China would get tax cut!

Products in Smallvolume.com

We found the following disclaimer in every product page
“Disclaimer: The supplier GOCS is responsible for accuracy of this listing with regards to images, description and pricing information. Is this item eligible for entry to your country? Please see our export policies “
It seemed that most of their products were provided by suppliers. However, we found most of their suppliers only have a few products uploaded. It did not make senesces. It seemed that most of the suppliers were made by themselves: they only a few products on hand so that they allocated each product for one supplier. In this way, buyer may feel there was lots of supplier on its site.
If you searched site:smallvolume.com on Google, you would know there was only 149000 pages on this site. It meant suppliers were just a few and not very active. (I hope this points was easy to understand for ebayer: would you upload 1 or 2 item on Ebay for your Ebay business)

Services

We found that Smallvolume.com`s staff had a long discussion with its potential buyers. That staff was from Singapore. My concern was whether their China office has the same level communication skill? Need further watching!
