Alibaba is a search engine, not a distributor.

You have 2 choices, suppliers and manufacturers to search thru. If you want to make your own product, you can find many great manufacturers, and you give them your specs, and they make & label it for you. But thats if you have your own idea or product.

Or, Alibaba has suppliers. You can search thru their suppliers, based on what you are looking to sell. You can obviously buy their products, and even put your own imprint, called private label.

Now you have to buy in bulk, and never ship it to FBA, Do it yourself after you inspect each and every one.

You could find out your item is gated, or there is so much competition that it will not be worth it . Then there is someone shutting you down, or infringement.

So at the end of the day, you never buy off Alibaba, they are a secure payment search engine for stuff from manufacturers in China. They have amazing sellers, but they wont tell you they sold the same item to 20 others, just like you.

But I would listen to the previous advise and not do it until you know a little bit more about selling on Amazon. You only get 1 chance, so do your research. Do seller university over and over again.

Alibaba can be a great resource, but if you thought of it, so did millions of other you tube watchers. Its not a get rich quick idea anymore.

Also, read and re read these forums, you will hear about accounts suspended daily. Everyone can learn from their mistakes.

I hope this helps, if it does pass it on. Good luck.
