r/Alibaba

Alibaba is a large marketplace connecting (mostly) Chinese suppliers with (mostly) western companies. This can be a tremendous resource, providing access to many low-cost suppliers, but it is not without its difficulties and risks. Poor quality goods, outright scams, delivery problems, and the like are a reality, just as with all marketplaces, but Alibaba is a bit unique. This forum is intended to have people share experiences, ask questions, and offer advice and strategies.
