10 Tips for Safe Trading （注：鉴于时间关系，在此仅列出主题，细节请列位看官仔细参阅英文内容。 转自阿里英文站点：http://resources.alibaba.com/article/201/10_Tips_for_Safe_Trading.htm） There are a number of actions you can take to research your potential business partner whom you have met on the internet, so that you can reduce the risk of being subject to a fraudulent transaction or business misunderstanding. These include: 1。Choose China Suppliers and TrustPass Members as Your Partners 选择中国供应商和诚信通会员作为你的贸易伙伴 Do business with partners that you have more reliable information about such as Alibaba's Gold Suppliers and TrustPass Members. These are members of the Alibaba community who have passed a basic Authentication and Verification test and additional confirmation of legitimacy and quality. 2。Confirm Contact Details 确定联络细节 Always confirm if the address, phone number and email address given to you by your trading partner belongs to the same company. If a trader provides inconsistent contact details, for example an address in the USA and phone number from another country, we recommend you look up the address in the local phone directory and obtain the local phone number, and call this number to confirm that the person you are in touch with actually works for the company. Similarly, if a partner's email heading states that they work for a certain company, you should verify this. Be aware that some scam artists could alter their return email address heading to make it look like they work for a company that they don't. If a buyer or seller claims to be a TrustPass member, we suggest you visit their TrustPass profile on Alibaba to verify this information. 3。Check the Partner's Background 查验贸易伙伴的背景 Background checks from independent third-party sources include a search for legal registration and credit reports. In many countries the existence of a company and its legal status is a matter of public record. If your trading partner is not a Gold Supplier orTrustPass Member, check with the companies registry in the partner's country to ensure that the company exists with a valid registration. If you cannot have independent access to your partner's registration information, ask your partner to provide you with a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the companies registry of his country or state/province. You can also gain further knowledge about your partner by ordering a credit history report from a local credit agency. Credit history reports contain information about the partner's business history in their relationships with banks and other trading partners. 4。Meet Your Partner in Person 亲自会见你的贸易伙伴 Whenever possible, meet your business partner in person and visit his company's facilities. While the internet offers you a wealth of information on your potential partner which enables you to make an initial assessment, there is no substitute for face-to-face contact. 5。Protect Yourself When Ordering or Providing Samples 当下单或供样时，保护你自己（的利益） As a buyer, order a sample before committing to a purchase order to be sure that the product meets your expectations. As a seller, request payment for a sample and/or payment for shipping costs before you send out the sample, especially if your product has a high resale value. 6。Use Pre-Shipment Inspection Services 利用出货前的验货机构 If you are a buyer, you can protect yourself against poor quality by ordering a pre-shipment inspection of the products. You can demand the inspection as a condition to payment. 7。Protect Yourself Against Payment Risk-You Are the Seller 根据付款风险来保护你自己--若你是卖方 If you are a seller and have not been doing business with your partner for very long, avoid selling your products on open-account (in which case you are extending credit to your buyer). Instead ask your buyer to open a letter of credit (an "L/C"). 8。Protect Yourself Against Payment Risk-You Are the Buyer 根据付款风险来保护你自己--若你是买方 If you are a buyer, sometimes a supplier may ask you for a deposit (usually 30%) before he accepts the order. While this is not unusual between long-standing trading partners, if you are doing business with the supplier for the first time, make sure you have done sufficient background checks on the supplier before you agree to the deposit, or ask for a different form of payment, such as a letter of credit. If the seller seems more focused on payment than any other issue, or indicates that cash payment must be made urgently, more caution should be given to the transaction. Be extra cautious when the seller asks you to send money to an account whose real owner cannot be traced; for example, you cannot trace the real name of the person behind an account with a wiring service such as Western Union. 9。Suspect Shipping or Contact Addresses 对海运或联络地址持怀疑（态度） Pay close attention to shipping or contact addresses located in regions with high reported incidences of online fraud, such as Eastern Europe, Western Africa and Central America. 10。Beware of Fake E-mail Addresses 小心伪造的电子邮箱地址 It is possible for anyone with some technical knowledge to send an email with a fake address. When you receive an email from someone you know or whose email address appears legitimate, but the message of the email looks suspicious, you can verify whether the email came from the person whom the sender claims to be by using a simple procedure to check the email address.
