“Trust and peace of mind”

Dorothy H.
7/14/24

Trading through alibaba provides peace of mind that your transactions are secured and you are trading with professionals. I will always buy from this platform and I recommend it to others. We also buy a lot of things for my work. Everything I have ordered in Australia always arrives on time and buying the products and selecting them has been made so easy through Alibaba. Very happy with the service!

Top Critical Review

“Alibaba Trade assurance is a scam”

Leif Erik G.
9/20/24

Even when you provide Trade Assurance with clear evidence a supplier has commited fraud, they will still side with the supplier. Please do not trust that Trade Assurance will help you or protect you as a customer in any way. You just pay extra when paying to Alibaba. That's it. And it's impossible to get help from customer service.

This is the best way to access China Markets, No import-export experience needed, Just tipe what you are looking for and they will redirect to you, supliers around the world, everybody seems to enjoy selling on Alibaba. I am very please for what I have acomplished, Just wish to have more clients to sell products...

Tip for consumers:
Have the original part Number and a Picture, to assure quality, allways ask for the best quality available, Try to quote with several vendors first, one you have one to comply, stay there...build the bussines..

Products used:
Many products adquired trought ALIBABA , mainly tractor and excavator parts

Seller Nanchang Kay Xin Yue Technologies Co., Ltd. said not in stock and forced me to ask for a refund but will not refund because I said not in stock on refund reason. Seller then refused to refund and spammed me with messages to try to force me to change the reason or she will not refund. Then cancelled the refund process but has not sent the item. I have tried to get this resolved by Alibaba chat but was told to open a dispute. Cannot find a dispute just the refund bit. Seller needs to be heavily penalised for these actions.

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy on Alibaba... Full os scammers and site very minimal on problem resolution.

Products used:
Nanchang Kay Xin Yue Technologies Co., Ltd. - poffertjes machine

I'm new seller and i search and buy some products on Alibaba.
Every order was perfect.
Only taxes and import duties on my country are a bit high but it's not the fault of alibaba.

I ordered from a supplier and part of the product is defective. I refunded the amount since I have paid under Alibaba trade assurance. It really works. The refund just took 2 days to settle.

Alibaba has a little bit of everything, and I was easily able to find what I wanted for my business. The Trade Assurance feature provides a lot of peace of mind when making an order.

Hi Mordechai, based on your description, I assume you are referring to an AliExpress order. For orders placed on AliExpress, you are suggested to contact the relevant team via the link below: http://www.aliexpress.com/help/newContactUs.htm. If it is an order on Alibaba.com, please send the order number via private message for a check. Thanks for the cooperation!

I don't believe those who say Ali Baba is bad and don't give the money back
These are lies, misrepresentations, integrity and honesty of Ali Baba
I think I tried it myself
Alibaba is the original guarantee that will return your money if you deserve the refund
Alibaba helps you in all cases and is a guarantee for you and your peace of mind
I am a trader in the United Arab Emirates and I just love to do business with Alibaba
Refunds my money and within my purchases, were it not for Alibaba. I don't buy from suppliers
In fact, I do many experiments with Alibaba. And get a good guarantee
Alibaba is always at the right fair
I would like to thank Ali Baba and say that I really love Ali Baba

Nice system but should not have fee for credit card. I think the best way is to minimize fee as much as you can to make customer feel more comfortable

Ordering process is not user friendly... should be much easier to choose a product and order... also products listed prices are usually wrong and supplier tries to charge much more
