Alibaba suppliers: Why so many middle men? | Global Trade Explained

Alibaba.com is one of the world's biggest B2B ecommerce platforms. If you want to or have tried to source any product from Alibaba either for the company you work for or you are starting an Amazon shop, this video is for you. For those of you that are interested in e-commerce in general, importing from China or global trade in general, we recommend you watch this video.

Rather than making a video that focuses on how to spot a middle man or trader on Alibaba, of which there are a lot, we feel it is better to understand why that is. Why are Alibaba supplier dishonest?

Having a look at the other side and understanding how factories and Alibaba sellers think will give you valuable information for dealing with suppliers you find on Alibaba, or any other platform.

Besides talking the age old problem of too many middle men and fake factories on Alibaba, you will also find out about Alibaba's One Touch service (一达通). For those of you interested we might cover it in a further video if there is enough interest.

This video is not some compilation of random things about Alibaba's platform found on the internet. Our facts come from first hand experience not only as buyer, but as SELLER as well.

TEXIN INDUSTRIES has signed up for Alibaba Gold Member 2 times, in 2009 and in 2019. We have also attended meetings that Alibaba organizes for it’s sellers to help them make better use of the platform, and also met other companies selling on Alibaba.

So we don't really want to brag about it, but we want you to know that we are providing first hand experience for those of you that are interested in sourcing products from Alibaba, importing from China, and other business topics.
