How to Import Products From China

You’ve been dying to learn how to import products from China in order to resell them for profit on eBay.

If the preceding statement is true about you then you’ve come to the right place. This brief article will supply you with the most important do’s and don’t’s concerning how to import products from China.

Five Big Tips for Finding Out How to Import from China

1. Pay attention to their products.
If the Chinese wholesale website that you are looking at carries any of the fraudulent items listed above, stay far away. However, if the company you are evaluating sells quality unmarked/unbranded merchandise that will be easy to resell, you might want to consider starting a business relationship.

2. Check out their rankings on Alexa.com and the Google page rank.
Both of these websites provide ratings regarding the popularity of a given website. More popular wholesale websites are more likely to be legit. Therefore, you should steer towards sites that have good rankings on both Alexa and Google.

3. Evaluate their domain name.
If the website’s domain name contains a branded product name (e.g. iPhonefun09.com) then the website is almost certainly not legitimate. Steer clear.

4. Is their contact information readily available?
While ready contact information is no guarantee of reliability, a lack of contact information almost certainly points to a deficit of credibility. Do not do business with websites without a listed physical address and phone number.

5. Be careful how you pay!
Credit cards and PayPal are usually the safest way to conduct transactions online. However, most Chinese wholesalers do not accept these methods on a regular basis. A common form of payment is wire transfer. While this type of payment is never completely safe, you can save yourself some of the associated risk by always making sure that your payment is being sent to a COMPANY account and not a PERSONAL account. In addition, be aware that if a company accepts WU or Money Gram that it is probably a scam.
