About Alibaba Product (Supplier) Verification
Alibaba introduces you to global manufacturers, but not all your suppliers are as they pretend to be. Our detector researches for you prior to paying in advance.
What We Test for You
- Supplier Verifications: if they are "Verified" or "Gold Supplier" and for how long.
- Years in Business: An established supplier of over 10 years of experience is usually more credible than someone that is relatively new.
- Product Catalog Red Flags: Hints of ultra-low costs or incongruent products that don't complement each other (e.g., those that sell car parts and baby attire and call it a "factory").
- Community Comments: We check third-party discussion boards and member reporting for instances of non-delivery or unsatisfactory quality that can be linked to the supplier.
Largest Red Flag - Payments:
An honest supplier will make use of Alibaba Trade Assurance, in covering your payment. If a supplier is demanding that you pay from Western Union, MoneyGram, or by wire into someone's bank account, it's usually always fraudulent (learn about risky payments).
Sourcing Safely
Always buy under Trade Assurance, ask for samples before ordering large quantity, and do a quick search to see if the firm has a legitimate web presence beyond Alibaba. Our tool distills these credibility indicators into one simple-to-read report that allows you to buy with confidence.
Verify suppliers. Recognize red flags. Protect your business.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I quickly check an Alibaba supplier?
Look for Verified/Gold badges, years of experience, Trade Assurance, on-site inspections, and standard product lines.
Do I need to use Trade Assurance?
Highly recommended. It covers payments, has milestones, and facilitates dispute resolution.
The quote is far below factory prices. Red flag?
Likely. Ultra-low pricing often means middlemen, poor quality, or scams.
Do not use these methods of payments.
Do not use Western Union, MoneyGram, and personal wires. Use Trade Assurance or credible escrow.
Shall I trust sample quality?
Samples are beneficial, but fix specs into the PO, use inspections, and stage payments to manage risk.
