On DHgate, your interests are always been protected from when you place an order to order completion.

ESCROW is a payment system in which the buyer's money is deposited into the Escrow agent's account (in this case DHgate.com) for safekeeping, its release pending the buyer's confirmation that all purchased goods are satisfactory. When the buyer confirms the delivery and is satisfied with the items received, DHgate will then release the payment to the seller.

1. You place an order at www.DHgate.com2. When you make a payment to DHgate, we will hold the payment until you authorize us to release the payment to the seller.3. If the seller accepts the order, he or she needs to prepare the merchandise within the specified processing time. Once the merchandise is shipped, you will be notified with the tracking information by email.4. When you receive the merchandise, remember to carefully check the quality and quantity of the item(s).5. If you are satisfied with the merchandise, please visit "My DHgate" and click the "Complete Order" link so that we can release the payment to the seller.

What is Escrow service?

Escrow service is a licensed buyer protection system. DHgate will receive and hold buyer's payment till the transaction is successfully completed. Only after buyer approves the items received, will DHgate releases the payment to the seller.

Why do I need Escrow?

It's just safer! DHgate reduces the potential risk of fraud by acting as a third party that collects, holds and sends a buyer's money to a seller according to transactions completed on by both the buyer and seller.

How buyers are protected:

The buyer sends payment to DHgate.com rather than directly to the seller.

DHgate.com informs the seller to dispatch the item.

The buyer tracks the delivery of the item by using "My DHgate".

Once the buyer confirms receipt of the item and press "Complete order" in "My DHgate", DHgate.com will send payment to the seller to complete the transaction.

What if a seller offers to sell me something directly, bypassing DHgate?

If you receive offers from the sellers to complete transactions directly without going through DHgate.com, we urge you not to respond and to notify us as soon as possible. Should you accept the seller’s offer, you will not be under DHgate’s protection. If the items you receive are not what you expected, or if they fail to arrive, DHgate cannot help

47. What is Gold Supplier ?

Gold Supplier is a premium type of membership for suppliers on Alibaba.com. To qualify for a Gold Supplier membership, a supplier must undergo and pass authentication and verification procedures conducted by a reputable third-party security service provider appointed by Alibaba.com. Once approved, Gold Supplier members are authorized to display the icon to demonstrate their authenticity, which means they are a legitimate entity in existence whose identity has been verified. If you're looking for suppliers whose identities are verified, choose Gold Supplier members.

Benefits of doing business with a Gold Supplier Member

Authentication & Verification

Trade with ease and peace of mind knowing that all Gold Supplier members have had their identities authenticated and verified by a reputable third-party security service provider. This means that the Gold Supplier member's company registration details have undergone a thorough check to make sure that the entity is real and legitimate. It is of course still important for you to conduct your own due diligence before entering into any transactions with a supplier, because the authentication and verification only confirms the identity of a supplier and not the supplier's trading practices, reputation or credit worthiness.

Unlimited Product Listings

Unlike free members, Gold Supplier members can post an unlimited number of products online, giving you more products and variety to choose from. Consolidate your orders and save time when sourcing by ordering all your products from one place.

Experience in Global Trade

Gold Supplier profiles show how many years the supplier has been a Gold Supplier member, so you can gauge how much experience they have in interacting with buyers around the world through Alibaba.com.

Detailed Company Information

Alibaba.com Gold Supplier websites contain detailed information such as Management, Certificates and Quality Control so you can know more about a potential supplier before contacting them. Gold Supplier members are also reminded to keep their company profiles update with accurate contact details and the latest product information.

Page 26: Considering Competitors Like Alibaba

Serious Interest in Doing Business

Gold Supplier members pay annual fees for their memberships, which shows that they have a serious interest in receiving inquiries and conducting business on Alibaba.com.

Are you a supplier?
