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.

2. http://seller.beltal.com/
3. http://www.tradetang.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
