[quote author=Ymodulus post=25237662]BUYING WITHOUT REGISTRATION

Buying without registration is easy. you just have to get the contact of the seller and you are free to go.


Now let me take you down the Non-registration Route (In my opinion Best Route.)


When you visit any link on 1688. com, the seller always and its a must, I repeat the sellers always have their phone numbers on the page , you will also see the trade manager , Qq Id (not often) or Wechat id(not often).


PHONE NO
This is the easiest way to have things go your way.

There is a popular saying that " you use money to get money". Here this saying take effect.

All you have to do, is pick up the phone no of the contact. and then send him a simple text message, see

TEXT MESSAGE

*******************************************

Hi

I am from Nigeria. I want to buy watch on your 1688.com store. please send me your qq or Trade manager Id to my +2348065432....

Thanks.
*******************************************


Now take note of the message format above I still added my phone no. even though am using my phone no to send the text. the reason is because at times when you call China , they receiving party will not receive or see your phone no. Its done by their network for security reasons. At times they receiving part might see your phone no. so to avoid a case where your phone number is not seen. Just add it to your message.

Note!!!:
As at this time of writing. A text message of 1 page to China cost N15. So I believe this should not be a problem.



TRADE MANAGER ID

Every seller on 1688.com uses trade manager. Do not forget that the website is owned by the ALIBABA GROUP. Now if a seller is online just Click that icon and chat will come up then go onbchatting with them.

QQ I'd
Some sellers use QQ. you can get it from them or you will see it openly written.




Conclusion

You need not register to buy an Item on 1688 . com , all that is needed is for you to establish contact with your seller and booooooooom discussion continues.



Payment Method

There are two ways of paying on 1688.com

1. Through MONEY TRANSFER by your NIGERIAN SHIPPING AGENT
2. Through your NIGERIAN ATM CARD.


Now for the first way please see this thread for more : https://www.nairaland.com/1819824/newly-found-shipping-agent-china



For the second way, read on

Now I use this most often.
Most seller on 1688 . com have stores on aliexpress and Alibaba . com, ask them that you want to pay on aliexpress, they will agree and ask you to place an order then you will pay. That's how you do things.
Note!! Most times some Chinese sellers can be funny. they will give you stupid items. so that's why its best to bring them online on Aliexpress or Alibaba and leverage the power of escrow.


However if you are to carry out a money transfer, let it be Payment-On-Delivery. some may not agree all you dobis send them the money straight.

OK now I get. Your friend actually told me about the whole saga but will have to tell you facts about procurement a bit
When you choose sites to buy for someone like TSO the truth is he can only buy on your behalf and ship to Nigeria for you. Anything regarding quality issues cannot be done by him because he believes you know exactly what you are buying which is why most of them don't give you sites to buy from but only buy from your choice.
The only thing I really don't like about the whole issue is for him not to explain the terms and conditions of procurement to you

Re: Do it urself importation: 1688.com Class by ellenfransico(f): 4:46am On Sep 08, 2015
Actually 1688.com aims to the china domestic market, and Alibaba, and Aliexpress aim to the international market for it's in English and also in other languages which means no translation needed, and just talk with them in English.

Your ideas and contributions are welcomed as well.

So lets move d train?

In cases like this, there are provisions on 1688 to open dispute with the seller that's why I asked you to document your complaints so it can be attended to. You claimed I didn't ask you forward the complaints to me so it can be attended to, if there are issues, it's fair you allow for opportunity for it to be resolved.

Thank you brother for your knowledge sharing grĂ ce

(1) Please is it better to pay the supplier directly than paying them through an agent.

(2) I also want to know if I decide to pay them through an agent, how do I pass the vital information (Name, Phone Number, Supplier Name and Weight) to them since I am not the one paying them myself but a third party.

(3) Please which of the third party agent would you advise me to stick with because Chrisvicmall seems to be on the high side though they are the only one I know that have a website where one can easily get information and the dealing processes well spelt out BUT if you have others with reputable past dealings I will appreciate it so much.

God bless you well well. I dey wait your response.

Boss I have been following this dispute silently. I don't know all the details but there is a window one can open dispute if the standard expected is not met. Money is not released to the seller until confirmed by the buyer or the time frame is elapsed just like it is done in other sites like eBay and aliexpress. Who knows if you had taken time to state your displeasure and forwarded pictures to tso on time you would have gotten your money back.

I even tot it was all a scam which isn't far from one. and after all,u wasted my money on just some alaba bags. what channel are you talking about that u fail to tell me when I first complain?

Really don't know what to say about this issues again. I know you are pained because the said amount is just too high to accept as a loss from your side but tso look into this issue and tell your procurement agent in China to file a dispute on this. Send clear pictures of orders made etc at least she picked Burgundy or so while she got blue. I've actually done the dispute many times and with good presentation it's sorted out well enough to Forge better business with supplier. I've had issues of missing items where supplier offered either I get the money for the missing items in my next purchase or he adds it to my next purchase.
Biko thespecialone give it a trial and let's see.
Madam for the meantime assume you bought it yourself and can't return it just like akube goods, what would have been your way out? Think outside the box
Both parties should just try to handle this matter with matured mind
Nairaland is a big family where trust must be maintained by both parties. Can't count how many times I've trusted men on this thread and it was after series of transactions we finally met not because we suspect one another but because you just want to see the next guy that is changing orientation of Nigerian youths to honesty

I understand your case. I bought some bags for someone of recent and one thing i was scared of was it not being up to expected standard. The bags also came in later than expected. Though my partner assured me of the quality i was still not comfortable until my client assured me twice that the bags were as expected. I don't know the full details but at the end we have to let go. This back and forth won't solve any issues here. Both parties should just come to a compromise. Thanks.

perhaps He or she is trying to cut cost down for you by eliminating escrow fees. Do not fear much as sooner or later, direct payments are the way forward. How is seller feedback?
