Get started in Alibaba as a buyer?

0 comments









Aliuser is constantly in contact with small medium buyers, traders and suppliers from international marketplaces. To my surprise, They share the following  thoughts in common – unfortunately they do not perfectly match with Alibaba business model:

  • Alibaba International site is a buying agent which provides a full set of suppliers’  list for sourcing
  • Alibaba International site can place orders or the site operator will find the products on behalf of them

Are you one of these buyers? Do you have the same questions on your mind?

You don’t know how to get started in Alibaba?  Here are some information that may be helpful. The B2B marketplace trading platform also offers help to international buyers by guiding them to get a desirable suppliers’ list and send inquiries to suppliers. Aliuser wishes it can take you to the right path:

I am a buyer. How to Buy?

  1. Search Products: Find what you need.
  2. Check Results: Check product details
  3. Contact Suppliers: Chat with suppliers in real time
  4. Find out more details in Buy Now Channel or Search Now

I am a supplier as well. How to Sell?

  1.  Join Alibaba: Get connected to international buyers online
  2. Display your products: Tell buyers what you have
  3. Find out more details in Sell Now channel

The graphical illustration below may give additional idea how the B2B sourcing platform works for you – either you are a buyer, a supplier or both.
