Go from garage sales to China overnight. It's not that hard to buy from China and feel good about your tranactions. This book helps you avoid the pitfalls and rapidly take advantage of the opportunities worldwide.

Alibaba.com connects users with a nearly endless stream of products and suppliers from around the world. This book tells how to avoid being overcome by the huge amount of information available and get the most out of the site. The site offers viewers access to over 5.5 million 'stores.' "Gold suppliers' have their documents verified, and get their listings posted first.
Alibaba was formed by 18 individuals meeting in an apartment a decade ago. It now has 13,000 employees serving Internet users in 240 nations and territories. Alibaba.com is the world's largest B2B marketplace. The group also provides Asia's largest consumer shopping destination (70-80% share of Chinese on-line shopping - TaoBao), and China's largest online payment platform (50% market share - Alipay).
The guide book also provides the usual 'buyer beware' notices about the perils of Internet trading, and the site's approach to dispute resolution.
