What You Need to Know About Product Purchasing and Factory Coordination in China

The Hidden Reality of Buying from China

At first glance, sourcing products from China may appear simple and secure, especially when using well-known platforms like Alibaba, AliExpress, DHgate, or Made-in-China. These marketplaces are widely recognized and convenient for individual buyers and small businesses. However, the reality is far more complex — and success largely depends on how well you understand the system.

Consider this: you might come across a supplier on Alibaba with excellent ratings, glowing reviews, and multiple verification badges. On AliExpress, you may see fast shipping options and buyer protection policies. All of this builds confidence, and in some cases, orders do proceed smoothly.

But here’s what many buyers don’t realize: over 90% of sellers on platforms like Alibaba and AliExpress are not actual factories. They are trading companies or resellers who purchase from manufacturers and then resell to you, often adding a markup of 30% to 70% or more.

The result? Instead of working directly with the source, you’re often paying a middleman — while losing transparency and control over the manufacturing process.

Other platforms, such as Temu and DHgate, operate in similar ways. Products are offered by multiple sellers, often with limited visibility into who the actual manufacturer is, leaving buyers exposed to hidden risks and uncertainty.

Challenges of Direct Sourcing from 1688.com What You Need to Know

1688.com sourcing

Many real Chinese manufacturers list their products only on 1688.com, a local B2B platform intended for domestic Chinese buyers. This is where you’ll find the lowest prices and the actual producers behind many products listed on Alibaba or Amazon. But here’s the catch

  • Reduce energy costs for your farm
  • Increase efficiency with renewable power
  • Reliable performance all year round
  • Minimize environmental impact
  • Enhance long-term farm sustainability
  • Gain independence from rising fuel costs
  • Support a cleaner, greener future for agriculture

They’re already working with local wholesalers or export companies who buy in bulk and resell — including many of the trading companies you see on Alibaba.
