As I have mentioned, I am a total Alibaba fan boy. I admit it. Like any person out there who has done business on Alibaba, Craig's List or eBay, you don't always know the other person in the transaction. Most of the time they are honest, but sometimes, you might get ripped off.
It happens.
Crappy companies sit by and watch you get ripped off. One of the reasons I am such a fan boy of Alibaba is that they set up a pile of money to help you recover what you have lost - it's called the Alibaba Fair Play Fund. Can you still get ripped off by some scam artist in Italy? Sure. But if you can't get your money back, here's what the site says:
Established in 2009, the Fair Play Fund initially covered fraud disputes between buyers and China-based Gold Suppliers. As of January 2011, the Fair Play Fund also covers claims filed against Global Gold Suppliers.This means that if you think you got ripped off and someone hosed you for your money, you can log in and make a complaint online. Sure, just like in a court, you need to prove your case, but dudes, this huge company will listen to what you have to say.
So take it from me. Don't waste your time calling the FTC or whoever because this company is in China! Hellloooo!
Most people are legit, but if they are not and you can't do anything about it, at least try to use the Alibaba Fair Play Fund. You might get some money back.
