Online trading has both pros and cons as everything else in life. If it means saving time and global reach, it also means business with faceless people. There are some people out in the market who take advantage of the situation and cheat traders of their money and goods. But all these can be avoided if one is alert and aware about the deals struck on the internet. Whether a buyer or a seller, a few simple steps go a long way in thwarting any such attempts:

Always do business with our T-plus or Diamond Supplier members. These are pre-qualified and verified members posting authentic information.

Always check the seller history by judging him through his Business Credit Report issued by us. Our experienced and skilled staff of verifiers make sure that no unfair, unsolicited and unverified trade leads or members can do business on our portal.

Always check the credentials of the person in question, like verifying addresses and other contact numbers.

Always insist on seeing any certificate of good standing if claimed of possession. Also verify claims of being a T-plus member with our T-plus directory or our support staff.

Insist on meeting the potential client in person as no amount of electronic correspondence can compensate the real on-site scrutiny.

Buyers should never order in bulk without asking for sample and seller should always ask for payment of sample of costly products.

Buyers should never deposit advance payment without thorough background check up to his satisfaction. Seller should always insist on L/C (letter of credit) especially for first time partners.

Always trust your intuition and stay conscious of anything suspicious regarding your partners.
