China Wholesale Review - China Wholesale Marketplace Review

Is Tradetang.com a copied DHgate?

 

 

I found a new site called Tradetang.com, which was very similar DHgate. I also found lots of comment on 419 legal forum to discuss its identity.

Today we will give a review on this copied DHgate.

Who the hell is Tradetang, is it a sisiter website of DHgate?

Tradetang.com is just another China wholesale marketplace like DHgate.com. After carefully research, we confirm that Tranedtang is an independent company with its heard offices in Beijing, where our previous review target: dhgate, lightinthebox , located. For some newbie not understand what is wholesale marketplace, I would like to repeat again: When you buy in TradeTang, you are dealing with the seller. All your payment is go to the 3rd party, Tradetang. Once you confirm you get the item, they will sent your money to the seller. Tradetang will charge a % of the payment issued by you as their revenue

How about the Item or products?

As stated in our previous review, we still insist

that product selling in China Wholesale website should not be authentic. Most are copied, take the IPhone for example, you will see lots of crazing copied IPhone in Tradetang, DHgate, Lightinthebox. So we recommend you to review the seller first. If the seller says :” Yes , it is direct from the OEM factory”, you should think about its credibility.

How to protect your benefit?


Just like the copied Iphone, they have a copied dispute process the same as DHgate. The following content is for dummy user:

There are two reasons for disputes:
   1. Items Not Received - you can use this if you have not received the item.
   2. Items Significantly Not as Described - you can use this if you felt the seller misrepresented the item in a way that directly affects the value or usability of the item.

To report a dispute:
   1. Log on to "My Tang".
   2. Locate the order number in question.
   3. Click the "Dispute" link of the corresponding order number.
   4. On the Dispute page, specify your reason for dispute.
   5. You can send messages to seller to settle the dispute.
Once a dispute is open, the status of the order becomes "Dispute opened".

How can I review a seller?

They copy again. lol, They have a Seller Trust Point, similar to the seller trust score in DHgate. It was a complicated index calculate by lots of parameter, including comments amount, comment quality...

You can easily just click the "View the seller profile"  to get full detail of the comment from other seller

Step 1 : Click the "View the seller profile"

 

Step 2 : View the comment from other seller




In fact, they have online agent to support, just click the live help button for more of your question.

In the end, let`s copy our preview reivew and check tadetang in google trend. It seems it just pop up in 2008.

This site Tradetang does have alot of scamers. I ordered a Gibson
guitar L-5 and got something else. the seller does not want to refund my
money.
I also found that seller Guitar888
is using Ebay pics. Item code
g89382198 and seller sunyanli888 and xigang is using the same pic's.
Warning
with this site. It sound like
the escrow is a good system but I will find out
soon if not. No service
or reply from service department.

because you're working for that company or you're the partner right?

I am past day 5 of my despute with Seller Guitar888. Seller wants to
rfund $35.00 out of $397.....what an ass. I have now Esculated the despute
and
will now be able to deal with customer service on the issue.

soon......
Ray Barela  - Tradetang Despute   |198.133.178.xxx |2009-05-29 07:59:07
In the Esculated Despute process..
Save sellers pic's and the item you
gets
pic's. You will need them in this process. So far seller has indicated that he
would not except
the package. More to come....

This is the response received from Lisa@tradetang.com:

Thanks
for your help, we are sorry about all the inconvenience, we have sent seller,
let them know the situation. As you know, the shipping cost of sending the
guitar back is too much, so we think its the best way for solve. but now the
problem, if the guitar can be used as usual, if it does, maybe we strive more
money for your consideration. and another, we are not sure if bought for
yourself or just for sell. if sell, maybe much more lower then price, and we ask
the seller refund you some money thus shipping cost saved.

Kind
regards
Lisa"

The guitar sent was a bad-poor copy of a Gibson anyway and
not what was shown on ad's pic's. I asked for full refund of $397.00 and seller
pays shipping or takes loss.

More to come on this story..

Still waiting for a rturn address from Seller Guitar888. The service
department keeps sending me messages indicating it would cost to much to return
item.
I just ant my $397.00 back....seller would only give me $50.00....its a
poor copy of a Gibson.....not worth
$20.00. Still in the process.....

Buy beware, they do have honest traders but they also have dishonest
ones as well, with good rating. I know first hand there dispute system does not
work in favour of the buyer. I was sent a damaged and wrong item. They done
nothing about it. Total rip off.
They only have copies of things which you would
expect.
They have photo's of original items and send you there copy, which isn't
alway the same item. I was told the guitar I purchased had same function so that
should be ok "WHAT"
If you think you will get justice through
dipute, think again. They dont give a you no what.
A Friend of mine used DHgate
with same results.
Hope you have better luck, but I think there is more chance
of pigs flying Cheers

This China sites are a major rip-off to all. The products are poor quality
as well as service. Be careful when ordering. It will cost more to return the
crap back than its worth. Check of return costs before you order. Also know
that
the pictures they show on their site is not what your getting.
