The China Wholesale Marketplaces Power Seller Secrets:  key facts about scam

When I check my Google Analytics these days, my site`s bounces rate is under 3%. WOW, it really gave me strength to give more exclusive and ultimate info for those visitors who think my articles are very useful. Today our topic is about the China Wholesaling Power seller and scam.

Who are China Wholesaling Power sellers

If you are a drop shipper or ebayer, you should know how to buy cheap China Goods on line. Those sellers in the major marketplaces, such as dhgate, tradetang, and tootoomak , with high ranking are China Wholesaling Power sellers.

The Power seller secrets:

1 Open multiple accounts:

If you think you will make business with different people when you change your supplier, you might be wrong. As far as I am concerned, almost all the power sellers have multiple accounts. If the power sellers became power for they sell fake goods, the marketplace would regulate / punish them. It will be a good choice to have more accounts.
What's more, the major wholesale marketplace websites are becoming more and more greedy to charge some fee for listing/advertising. (Just list the seller on top of the search result without let you know!) It makes sense that the sellers have more accounts, that is the only way to get more opportunities for “impression” .
Keep that in mind when your sourcing list is limited to some special products.

2 Ranking=Reputation? or :

Recently, I heard some scandal about a seller called

“BejingXXX” in some leading China wholesale websites! For he/she has some relative in that companies, he/she payrolled the technical staff to modify his/her ranking(AKA seller scores)
The other scandal, which I learned from my Hongkong friends, is that the power seller bought from themselves. What ? How did it happen? If you were frequent buyers, you should know there are lots of % discount promotion in the major china wholesale websites. If the discount was covered by the wholesale website itself and above the “transaction fee”, the seller would have room to manipulate!
Example: If tradetang.com charged 6% of the transaction payment as fee, but offered 7% discount for the seller. The seller listed a cell phone for 100usd, and then he bought it. He only need to pay 93USD (100USD X (1-7%)).  However, tradetang paid the seller 94USD (100USD X(1-6%)).
He got the 1 USD and a good feedback!

3 where are the wholesale marketplaces` escrow services:

Some hearsay really surprised me! Some power seller even payroll the customer services to stop them protecting you! Just search some power seller`s name on google, you would find lots of negative feedbacks, some even show  the buyers had issued a dispute in the marketplaces or PayPal, however, they still experienced nightmare. Why these happened again and again?Though I did not think all Chinese are greedy, some of hard workers with low income might be lost in temptation. Always Google your business partner`s name before enquries.

4 The pictures are just pictures

Please don’t take the pictures so seriously, especially those electronicl products. While making testing orders, online research would help you better to identify who are making efforts.

Finally, If you are an ebayer, I strongly advice you buy from website such as lightinthebox, for it cares about their brand. I am not saying it is perfect for grousing has been found, but it is much more transparent.
