 Papayaone.com Review: Coming From Global Sources Direct?

 

Papayaone.com logo from its official website

While digging trough Google for more funny electronics gadgets, I stumbled on papalyone.com. I used my ultimate “ReviewFBI” methodology to check this site. It should be listed as one of the hiding wholesaler without any contact phone no. I thought most new visitors for this site would have the same question: will it scam me? I tried my best to feed all dropshippers/wholesalers/ebayers` curiosities.

 

1 Papayaone.com domain info and Papaya Holdings Limited

 

It was quite confused that papayaone.com registered in US, then operated in Shenzhen with a Hongkong registered company. I found papaya holding limited registered date was almost the same with its domain. Papayaone.com did not leave me any “hints” for further research so I have to turn to its domain owner again.

2 Finding about the cofounder of Papayaone.com

 

We found this record in its domian info: “Administrative Contact:    Him, Savv"
This lady was showed as the domain administrator. When I used people search, I finally figured it out her background.
In Ms. Him`s linkin profile, work experiences of “Sales and Marketing Manager in Global Sources Direct” pop up into my eyes. There she was! (Global Sources Direct was one of the wholesale marketplaces but it had already been shut down)
It seemed that papayaone.com was just Ms. Him`s part-time for her linkin profile said she works for Microsoft now. There was another possibility that she was one of confounder and served the papayaone with her sufficient profession in her spare time.

3 Papayaone.com`s Products – All were from Global Sources Direct?

If my dummy assumption was correct, the papayaone.com`s product would be similar to the Global Sources Direct. I checked the architected email to find promotion email sending from Globalsourcesdirect.com. The email proved my opinion!

One of reason for Globalsourcesdirect.com shutting down was that it was not compromised to sale tons of fake items. If we considered two sites in another angle, did it mean papayaone.com succeeded the products from globalsorcesdirect.com and had better qualities? (Global Sources Direct had a quality control team to check the items from seller before sending them to buyers)

You might look at its phone accessories and other gadgets, while skipping the cell phones.

4 Services on Papayaone.com

When a merchant blocked its communication with its clients, it would not satisfy the client in other things

. Why did they offer a contact No.? Maybe the boss`s logics was “I do not need a phone for Global Sources Direct` seller did not offer phone contact but they still made sales” Hmm…Wasn`t it why it failed?
According to our researches, the shipping/return policy were the same with other cheapo china wholesale website. Please do not put your high expectation.

5 Papayaone.com scam research

 

Some consumers raised their concerns and addressed their suspicion but no real case was found on line.

6 Conclusion

 

If you are a seller for the following products: iphone accessories, cell phone accessories, iPod accessories, psp/wii/Xbox/ accessories, just put papayaone.com on your watch list.
