Hello all i need quick help. I am about to place an order for gloves. I met the supplier through alibaba they seem to be legit although some things make me question it. They tried to charge me double the charge for shipping as they once said and they havent asked for my shipping, yet they want me to pay through a website. Glovescity"dot"com is the website. For those who have ordered through alibaba how legit does this look.

    There are some shady operations on Alibaba. If it does not feel right don't do it !

        hey, sounds a little fishy to me . I would place a want to buy ad on alibaba to buy gloves and get more suppliers to contact me. Go and place that want to buy gloves ads, in your ad show them what kind of gloves that you are looking for.

    Il be careful,

    The best way is to pay safe and Alibaba
    has a safe paying ways, what normally
    happens when you pay for the product
    on their website is that the product does
    not come and you are not covered for
    refund,

    best to be safe then sorry...

    @DWolfe was right when he said there are some shady operations on Alibaba, but "some" is a serious understatement.

    Thousands of buyers have been scammed by suppliers on Alibaba, including Gold Suppliers.

    There is a major thread here Anyone ever buy from Alibaba? Any tips to prevent getting scammed? that deals with the problem, but do a forum search and you will find many more.

    I don't know if you are aware of the fact that Gold Suppliers are no better than ordinary verified suppliers, and the only checking that is done to verify any supplier (including Gold) is to check that the business actually exists.

    It might also interest you to know that a big majority of suppliers listed as manufacturers on Alibaba are traders. You won't get the best prices from them.
