We sell through two channels on purpose: this site for structured sourcing data, and an Alibaba.com store for buyers who want a platform-backed counterparty. This page states exactly what the platform status covers, so you can judge it without taking our word for it. The store Platform presence, stated as facts you can check yourself. Platform Alibaba.com (International) Membership Gold Supplier (verified-supplier programme) Trading entity Weihai Xiyue Fishing Tackle Store address xiyueoutdoor.en.alibaba.com Same categories as this site Lures, rods and terminal tackle from the Weihai and Hebei clusters What the status verifies, and what it does not It verifies That the trading entity is a registered business, checked by a third party rather than by us. That the account is a real, maintained commercial presence on the platform. That a buyer can transact through a platform mechanism instead of a direct bank transfer. It does not verify That any individual product has been inspected or certified. That the factories we source from meet our four gates, which is a separate and stricter process. That a published reference price is an offer to sell at that price. How to check us against the store Open the store link above.

Membership requires the seller's business registration to be checked by a third party and the account to be maintained in good standing. It is a statement about the selling entity, not about every product that entity lists. Does the store prove your suppliers are good? No. The store verifies us as a trading entity. Factory quality is handled separately by our four gates, business registration, main-business evidence, export records and a direct interview, with records re-checked every 90 days. Why keep both a website and an Alibaba store? Buyers who need a platform-backed counterparty can transact there; buyers who need structured, machine-readable sourcing data use this site. The two publish the same legal name, the same clusters and the same reference price basis on purpose. What if the two disagree? This site is the canonical source for definitions and price basis. The store is the canonical source for platform-mediated transactions. If you find a contradiction, send it to us and we correct or withdraw the wrong version.
