I need something from China and I have contacted a few people. The problem is I will be spending a significant amount of money and none of these people accept paypal but they accept a wire transfer or Western Union. I am not comfortable with these methods. I want to be able to track my money. So is it that I have no choice but to take the chance and just send the money. I don't want to have to travel to China myself to pick them up. What advice do those of you that do business with Chinese suppliers have

Can you name the site for due diligence purpose?

My first advice? BEWARE OF SCAM! Most of genuine companies I am aware of from
China accepts PayPal. PayPal is secure for both seller and buyer and if any company
or individual refuses to accept PayPal but only irreversible payment method, in my
opinion, I think danger is looming. think twice.

But if someone around you had successful transactions with the company in the past,
you may try the company with little first. Do your due diligence on them first; then go
ahead with little. Everything is about risk. The higher the risk, the higher the gain.

Always remember, NEVER RISK WHAT YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO LOSE.

Thanks. I was thinking in that direction also. I am only comfortable with paypal. I guess I have to start my search all over again.
