Sourcing products for sale on Amazon from Alibaba

If anyone is struggling to find a trusted supplier from Alibaba, here I am going to share criteria for selecting a supplier, so you can get rid of this headache.

Please consider the following points when finding a supplier:

• GOLD SUPPLIER WITH TRADE ASSURANCE:
Supplier/manufacturer must have a Trade Assurance badge.
What is Trade Assurance?
Sellers deposit a certain amount to Alibaba and in return Alibaba gives them a badge that is known as Trade Assurance badge. The purpose of this badge is that in case if any supplier doesn’t follow the agreement between him and buyer, Alibaba will use that deposited amount and give it to the buyer.

• GEMS:
The Diamond shaped icons with seller name are known as GEMS. They show the transaction level of that supplier. More the transactions more the GEMS.
Select the supplier with at least 3 GEMS.

• RESPONSE RATE:
Response rate shows the professionalism and seriousness of the supplier. Never go with a supplier with response rate lower than 80%.

• RATING & REVIEWS:
Check reviews and rating of that supplier. Supplier must have 4+ rating.

• TRADING OR MANUFACTURING COMPANY:
There are many sellers who are working as a Trading company. They work as a middle man and just take your order and forward it to the respective manufacturer of that product. Such trading companies charge little bit higher fees as compared to Manufacturer. So you have to identify whther the supplier is trading company or manufacturer.

• WORKING EXPERIENCE:
Going with new supplier might be risky although mostly new suppliers give low rates as compared to old suppliers but saving few dollars might lead you to face some other big issues, so it is recommended that supplier must be working on Alibaba for more than 2 years.

• NEGOTIATION:
From my past experiences I have noted that no matter what type of supplier you have found, if you don’t have good negotiation skills you will surely pay him higher price so while communicating you must utilize your negotiation skills.
