You can find the verified business information on the Gold Supplier member’s “TrustPass Profile”, which is located between ”Product” & “About Us” on the member's top navigation bar.
4. Does this mean that Gold Supplier members are safe and trustworthy?
Through the completion of the authentication and verification process, Alibaba.com can only check whether the business is registered in its local business administration region. This verification does not verify the integrity of the business, so it is still important for you to use your best judgment regarding both the supplier and any impending transaction. As Alibaba.com is not involved in transactions conducted between buyers and suppliers, please choose the safest payment method to protect yourself.
