You can pay with Credit Card on Alibaba while using Trade Assurance. So you will get the same double protection as Paypal.
I have done numerous transactions without issues in the last year. And you get better prices than any other shop online.
Kinda doubt it would work. But will look into this with other items and test. But at this time have no desire to pay a 27.6% tariff on top of the
uncertainty of the product quality and other issues I've mentioned in previous posts.
Still, no review of equipment on Bitcointalk of your equipment....no group buy offers with protections...so I get it your pushing for sales via the Alibaba site.
Still, no push in the USA and other markets for a group buy and discounts. Again, if Alibaba was an option folk in the USA felt they could trust, well we would
not be complaining on Bitcointalk of a miner drought due to availability and prices. (We still would be bitching in the USA about the tariffs..but that is another issue)
Also, again, no reason not to have PayPal if you have bona fides with Alibaba payment setup.
Again, all about trust of getting the equipment you paid for...I have outlied strategies in the USA to overcome some of these difficulties.
Again, review, group buy, etc would be ONE TIME things to quickly move product and show you are legit (even likely with the 27.6% tariff)
I doubt you will get any significant volume outside of the far east with Alibaba payment setup alone, even if it does work correctly.
Anyway, you are not the only ASIC maker to discard Paypal, Pesky Independent Reviews of Equipment, or any legit ASIC group buys with escrow.
Likely, if you are legit and moving units this is small potatoes and not worth the effort like other ASIC makers. On the other hand, for breaking
into a new market and needing Cheerleaders for a product, the old ways I mention on how to gain market share using Bitcointalk as a method
would still work. But alas, seems to be too much trouble to send a unit to review (even if paid after receiving to show bona fides) and/or a group buy.
So I will just lump you in now with all ASIC makers that don't seem to really give a frack and are just making noise on Bitcointalk and expecting a
newbie account and even if legit a minimum effort to move some of their stuff on Alibaba and that is the extent of your outreach. Also of course,
without any reviews or group buys or any other considerations...this whole thread may yet be not legit. For example, sending unworkable or
different older ASIC's instead of the purchased product. Bad shipping and or packaging, thus the whole international go around with DHL or FedEx etc.
(Been there done that, it usually don't work out well at the user's end)...stuff like that. So no 'track record' not gonna get very many buys for
your efforts I'm afraid on this thread. Too much scar tissue and broken ASIC dreams of non-delivery/sudden bankruptcy/bad product quality control/
bad packaging/language difficulty/warranty issues/delay on shipping. Anyway, you get where I'm coming from. Again, ask others who have done
escrow on Bitcointalk and Group Buys on Bitcointalk and WHY they are no longer doing so. Damn hard to do escrow on multi-thousand dollar group
buys on the risk at the group buy organizer's end. Anyway, good luck on drumming up sales on the Alibaba site, but I'm afraid it is not going to amount
to anything, in these times and with Bitcointalk's past issues with the scammers we've seen in the past and past protections no longer in play it seems.
later
