If Google Chrome doesn't translate fully, it is either as a result of your network or the Chinese you are seeing is in jpeg (image) format

I hope you will teach as you've said. You won't start selling materials like others do after making some revealing post along the line

Lesson 2
How to buy in 1688.com site without opening an account with the site.
It is very possible to buy from this without opening account with the site, in this aspects, it really advisable you used a desktop or laptops, the reason is that in some or most store, they displayed their QQ and phone number in the top right corner of their store, so if you visit the site with desktop, you will see their qq and phone contact, so you can pick it from dey ,add to your qq and chat.
Now remember that, if it a seller that does not understand English, lesson 7 will come, which we will learn with time
In term of payment, if the seller have a PayPal account, you can pay him directly but if he does not, you need a help of a Chinese friend to Pay the seller for you, after the payment you goods are ready to move to your agent. NoTe : I will still go inside of the payment in our lessons 8

Bros well done. What is the advantage of registering in 1688.com and the disadvantage of not registering
Thanks

1688 doesn't have an app rite? If it does where can we download from coz its not available in Google Play store

Is importing from China still in vogue considering the high dollar rate. Or since the site 1688 doesn't use dollar but their currency there won't be high exchange rate?
