if only i had found this website earlier, the above company was the same company that scammed me for $5000, i tested them with a test order of which they said i would have to pay normal retail price, which i did to know if they could be trusted, Andy sent me a Nokia N95 that was original and i thought ok, let me order a few at the wholesale price, i received 30 copied N95 phones, and 10 ipone copies which were cect p168, when i tried to contact the guy, he said sorry and that it was his job and that is what they do.

The worse part was Alibaba just told me that Gold member is just a paid membership, and there was nothing they could do for me, for days i went into depression. And getting rid of the phones was impossible for me.

Sorry for your loss mate, but it's the time to earn it back...

Learn from this forum and you will know especially from China suppliers for branded products.

Cheers,

I have been reading and this forum seems very promising, can somebody answer this question, Wholesale prices from trusted suppliers are so much with little or no profit margin, how do the ebay powersellers manage to get their products so cheap that they could offer it for so cheap? If anyone can supply mobiles and electronics at prices that would still allow one to make a profit on ebay, please feel free to contact me.

Refurbished phones have a higher profit margin than new phones.A lot of eBay sellers over charge on shipping to make there profit.

Bobs uncle, slanderous commetns without any kind of info or backup are well out of line. If you have something to say that people should know then say it or don't say anything. Random slagging comments are not constructive to anyone.

The authorized distributors in China sell direct to retail,they do not have a exporting permit to sell outside of China.If your trying to source name brand wholesale goods from China ,you will end up receiving counterfeit goods or end up getting Scammed!

You need to find exporting companies in Hong Kong and Singapore for name brand goods.
