Alibaba Seller Guide

To become a Seller, you must register as a Seller, complete the required fields, and agree to the Alibaba Terms of Service. After registration, you will have access to your personal account. To be able to place goods, you must activate any of the available tariff plans. After activating the tariff plan, you can place products manually or by bulk upload using an Excel file. A detailed guide to using your personal account is in the pdf file.

Payments for goods and for delivery can be carried out according to two schemes:
1) through our service
2) directly to the details of the Seller

In the first scheme, the funds paid by the Buyer for the goods and delivery are held by Alibaba until the terms of the transaction are fully executed. Payment in favor of the Seller is made within 5 banking days from the date of receipt of the goods by the Buyer ("Shipped" status in the personal account).
In the second scheme, we connect payments directly to the details of the Seller according to his instructions and direct transfers to his accounts. The Seller receives money from each order immediately in the form of an advance payment for the goods. To be able to work under such a scheme, the Seller provides an insurance deposit to guarantee the fulfillment of its obligations to the Buyer. The security deposit can be cash or commodity. In the case of a cash security deposit, the Seller transfers to the service the amount for which he can sell, receiving money for the goods immediately to his accounts in an amount not exceeding the total amount of the deposit. In the case of a commodity security deposit, the money at the beginning of sales is credited to the Alibaba service accounts until the sales volume reaches the amount of the security deposit. After that, all payments will begin to be made to the Seller's accounts.
The security deposit can be returned to the Seller at his request within 5 banking days, in which case he will be able to work according to the first scheme.

The commission in all schemes is calculated according to the tariffs.
