It is one of the biggest challenges for Amazon sellers who want to import from China, to find reliable Chinese suppliers. Once you find a product to sell on Amazon, you need to identify a legitimate and the highest quality supplier to manufacture it.
These are some important points sellers need to keep in mind:
- On sourcing sites like Alibaba, there are lots of scammers or traders who pose as manufacturers. It is difficult to recognize the legitimate suppliers.
- When buying from a trading company, its not possible to get the best price as traders will keep their profit margin.
- Sellers might end up dealing with suppliers who don’t provide the best product quality.
