Hey guys, so I've been looking for the past few weeks for a supplier.
I'm now ready to make my first purchase to sample the goods, but I'm still worried it might be a scam.
The supplier is from ecplaza.net I contacted him asking for more information on the goods, and company registration. One of the things that has me really worried is that he only accepts Western Union/ Bank Transfer.
This is the conversation we had: (Please, advice what I should do. Thank you.)
Me:
Hello,
the following is to inquire more information about the items you offer.
I'm concerned about the quality of these items. I understand they are not Genuine or Original,
but a good replica / clone is very important. How good of a quality are they?
Also, I wanted to inquire about the payment options. I see you offer Western Union
& Bank Transfers. Is there a reason why you don't accept payments via Paypal?
Your payment options are okay but not the safest when sending money to someone
you don't know; because there is no protection for Bank Transfer, Western Union, or Money Gram.
Could you make a link on AliExpress, which has better buyer protection?
I hope you understand I'm just trying to look out for myself.
Lastly, could you send me proof of Registration of your Company, by sending me your Company's Registration Number?
And I'd also like to take some time and talk with you, please send a reply with your phone number.
Regards,
*******

Since my business competitor reported to paypal company that we sell the apple products without apple sale license (if I apply for the apple sale lincese , I have to pay a lot of tax to china Govenment every month ,by this way ,my product price will be lose the market attraction after the tax added on the price ) as result ,my paypal account have been limited 180 days last week ,during this period,if you decide to buy ,you only can pay either via western union or bank transfer
We are serious for our business ,no scam ,no fool ,attached are our company business license and export license ,pls verify our comapny before business ,in china ,only legal company have these two documents
