Do B2B websites help global trade? Yes, of course they help. Most of my business and buyers got in touch with me and started business from B2B websites. And those where I get export order are free of charge, while those we pay member fee brought us nothing. Not sure if other companies confront similar situation as I did. Just wonder where B2B websites that mainly count on suppliers' member fee go to.
For many Asian B2B trade portals, it is time for them to change service pattern or think of new profitable modes. It took me much energy to source some free B2B portals a few years before, while now I can find some new every month. If the cake size doesn't change or even shrink after economy crisis. Then how to share it if every e-commerce portal use similar business mode? Large companies can expend their business by investing market overseas, they have enough money that are obtained from share stock market and venture capital. So for those small and middle sized B2B companies, they need to observe and image as more as they can on what customers real demand and seek for methods to turn these demand into profit.

A.W. Surveys--To Survey or To Be Surveyed?
A.W. Surveys is a website that pay people who register, express opinions on different websites, and refer friends to register and do survey. The minimum redeem amount is US$75.00 with US$25.0 deduction.
The website owner use A.W. Surveys to recommend his other websites. I have seen one website appear repeatedly, which is hosted by the same owner of A.W. Surveys. It is about how to make money online.
But some word like A.W. Surveys Scam appear on web now. And some others said they received money from A.W. Surveys. I myself is confused as well and the amount in account not yet reach the drawing amount. So, have no choice but to wait now.

C2C Option---Besides Ebay
Ebay.com was successful in most of area around the world, except China. In China mailand, Taobao.com is more popular. Some people explain as Chinese people like to bargain for a long time before they make a decision to buy something. The Wangwang software of Taobao just meet this point, thus it is more popular in China. I myself feels Ebay.com not convenient enough to operate, the pciture loading cost money, the shipping cost calculation takes time, etc.
While efficient deals without any gossip are important for all sellers, no matter Chinese or not. Some part-time suppliers do not have much time to bargain with buyers. And experienced buyers know cost and market well, know what they want well. What is the sense of taking longtime to chichat? Look at what happen on Taobao now? Some sellers offer as cheap as they can, even cheaper than factory coat. Whao dare to trust the quality? I mean, some of them.
If selling only in China mainland through Taobao, I feel it is hard to earn enough for you to quit off your job. One of my freinds' husband does like this, now he sometimes even need to ask pockect money from his wife! So if we still want to sell something overseas and earn US dollars. We could think of to look for some small volume wholesale websites. Here list a few option for Chinese suppliers. You can google some of your area of course.
1. http://seller.dhgate.com/
2. http://seller.beltal.com/
3. http://www.tradetang.com/
4. http://www.lightinthebox.com/
The last one was set up by former CEO of Google China. But it is different from the first 3 to register as suppliers. Looks like you need to call their office to get form and fill with and fax back.
It is lucky
