Alibaba
Anyone have any experience with this site?
I've been looking into it to see if I can maybe start something small, but it is a confusing site, in my opinion. |

Re: Alibaba
Is it really that confusing? My uncle runs an OHS company and used it to order different jackets to his specification.

Alibaba prospectus:
http://main.ednews.hk/listedco/listc...0071023003.HTM It's a few hundred pages long but you can get an idea how their business works, how they make money, how much money they make, and growth rates. |

Re: Alibaba
I'm not asking about the "business." I am asking if anyone has actually used Alibaba for some type of transaction for a business and what their experience was. I'm looking for something to sell, possibly on Ebay, but I don't know where to start.

Re: Alibaba
Ah, when you said you were looking to start something small, I thought you meant a competitor.

Re: Alibaba
I have used aliba to source chinese manufacturers..
no results yet. I am currently in the middle of expanding/switching my business from manufacturing to IMPORTING. 2 years ago I was 10% import from USA, 90% manufactured in Canada. Now i am 40% imported from China,10% USA, 50% made in Canada. in near future if I get several decent OS manufacturers I will try and switch to 80% imported.. and leave the made in Canada to "Rush" jobs only. BTW I will probably buy a little bit of the stock that just for fun. |

Re: Alibaba
I am trying to source a supplier for a product idea I have. It is a tedious process using Alibaba, but probably easier than anything else out there. My biggest concern is pricing, since shipping will not be cheap and minimum orders will require a substantial capital outlay on my part. Document your experience and post as you go... I would like to hear how Alibaba is working out for others. |
