This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Honestly, Tradekey.com has to be one of the most corrupt marketplaces on the internet. I don't see why they don't block it in the US and the rest of the world. I have been scammed so many times through companies that appear to look reputable.

For starters, when you go to look at a seller's feedback, all TradeKey shows you is the number of feedbacks, NOT the type. It doesn't matter if the feedback was negative or positive, it shows as simply a feedback. Tradekey themselves can tell you the type of feedback, but you will have to contact their customer support, which takes at least 24 business hours to respond, NEVER any quicker, they guarantee it.

Next, on TradeKey there is a rating system (called Trust Points), you gain or lose Trust Points based on your transactions, if the buyer is happy, then you gain 80 TrustPoints, if not and they open a dispute with you, then you lose 80. Your typical company will have about 200-300 points, there are Chinese scam companies with 3000, most of the time it is exactly 3000 which indicates scams most likely. If you open a TradeKey account and verify your bank account with them, you are rewarded 3000 points, however there are Chinese people who have figured out ways of cheating the points system and giving themselves huge amounts of points, so don't rely on this for a second.

Third, if you are willing to pay TradeKey $500 a year, you are given a "Gold Member Account" which makes you look more reputable. There are scammers who have figured out ways of getting Gold Member accounts.

Finally, when you are scammed (a very likely case scenario given this enviornment), and you contact TradeKey to report it, they customer support reps are extremely uncooperative and the process they make you do is ridiculous. Even if you messaged the scammer DIRECTLY through TradeKey messages, they still require you prove to them that you actually spoke with the scammer. They also require you have proof of payment, which raises concerns of ID theft, given that you are sending a crap load of personal info to some support rep you have no clue who they are.

Bottom line, I strongly advise ALL internet users to STAY AWAY from this site. I can tell countless horror stories I have had do business on this site and I have personally lost hundreds from these online scams.

1 - Feedback for suppliers is shown on the their Trust Profile pages (if they have received any). Further inquiries can be made at TradeKey's Feedback department, which are responded to within 12 business hours, keeping in mind the number of queries being received per day. Responses may be delayed due to technical issues or repeat queries by the same buyer, thereby refreshing the inquiry on the queue and simply moving at the end of the line.

2 - Actually the number of Trust Points gained or deducted based on buyer feedback vary from 100 to 2000, depending on the level of satisfaction and transaction amounts. Furthermore, 3000 Trust Points are awarded to Premium Members if A) they have provided valid business registration documents and/or B) if they provide details of their corporate bank account. (Note: Corporate bank accounts must have company titles, not individual titles.) Other points may be earned based on number of years spent at TradeKey.com etc.

3 - TradeKey does not charge $500/year for GoldKey membership. Rather it does charge $519 for a SilverKey Membership. For more details, please check the link below:

http://www.tradekey.com/membership_silverkey.htm

4 - TradeKey prides itself on having one of the finest customer services representatives available to diligently pursue all customer concerns. A seperate division titled "FraudWatch" looks specifically after concerns related to fraudulent transactions. Evidence required such as email messages, chat log conversations, payment receipts etc are instrumental in building a case against any members found to be deliberately engaged in fraud using TradeKey platform. Buyers that do cooperate have successfully managed to have such members suspended and even received their products or a full refund.

(Note: TradeKey fully respects the information of its valuable members and at no point divulges any personal info to third parties, and ensures compliance within its personnel to protect all member information.)

TradeKey promotes & encourages a safe Trading Environment for both buyers & suppliers and provides all necessary assistance to any affected parties that file a dispute. If you wish to file a dispute, please do email us at fraudwatch@tradekey.com.

Our product is heavily marketed, and finding customers on other b2b portals is difficult, but the scam, our buyer consultant, did an outstanding job promoting and selling our items on our behalf. I'm optimistic that Tradekey and our BC will be able to maintain the same level of service.

I learned about TradeKey.com from a friend and signed up as a Free Member with no idea how good and beneficial the gateway would turn out to be. While browsing TradeKey.com, I discovered a number of interesting features that were only available to Premium Members.

As a result, I decided to upgrade to a premium membership, where we were granted Trust Points, which resulted in more genuine inquiries from potential buyers, and we were able to export our agricultural goods globally in a short period of time while retaining strong business ties.

To be honest, we've been a Tradekey Goldkey member for quite some time, but one thing sticks out: as a Tradekey Goldkey member from the beginning, we missed out on several advertising chances due to a lack of understanding of how to optimise and get visibility for items and profiles.

With the majority of my suppliers and some of my buyers coming from tradekey.com, I can confidently state that tradekey.com has aided me in reaching this point. They not only connect buyers and vendors, but also advise and train them.

A coworker recommended TradeKey to me, and he only had positive things to say about it. I eventually joined up for a B2B marketplace this year and started doing foreign business.

Tradekey's platform and digital service business model, we think, can help businesses all over the world prosper. We were able to more efficiently build our business with their assistance. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and best wishes to TradeKey.

Hi, I'm from the United States and have over 30 years of experience in the industry. I was looking for a B2B gateway that would enable me to expand my company into new markets. After comparing the advantages and disadvantages of Tradekey with other B2B portals, I decided to sign up.

Our buyer consultant performed an outstanding job on our behalf in promoting and selling our stuff. I believe Tradekey and our BC will be able to provide the same level of service. You're off to a great start with the favourable reviews, and we wish you continued success.

We joined Tradekey, a well-known B2B platform, since we were looking for a more efficient way to interact with potential clients throughout the world. We expected that by becoming a VIP Supplier, we would be able to increase our sales volume while also strategically marketing our company on a global scale.

TradeKey's excellent business consulting services assisted me in locating each of these buyers, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in revenue for my firm.

When I think of a B2B portal, Tradekey is the first name that comes to mind. I've been a Goldkey member for over a year and feel it provides rapid and big results. My account manager has been providing me with amazing care and attention for the past few months.

This person works with me and provides in-depth analysis and market knowledge on possible clients. So far, I've been pleased with Tradekey's effect and services, and I expect this to continue. A fantastic business platform!

To be honest, we've become a Tradekey Goldkey member for six years, which is quite some time, but one thing stands out: as a Tradekey Goldkey member from the start, we missed out on numerous advertising opportunities due to a lack of awareness of how to maximize and acquire visibility for products and profiles.

The Tradekey staff aided in the negotiations, which ended in a positive outcome. Because Tradekey was able to fill this order, as well as many others, we were able to develop our business throughout the outbreak.

After hearing about tradekey.com from our friends, we decided to join up for a free account. It's a great method to get new customers, and it's the only way we can promote our products. Because we were just getting started, our business was slow before tradekey.com.

So far, the only thing we've learned in the B2B industry is that you need to be more patient with queries and answer swiftly if you want a favorable outcome. We've discussed our concerns with our Tradekey Headquarters account manager, who has been really accommodating during our stay.

Our product is incredibly saturated, and finding consumers on other b2b portals is challenging, but nevertheless, TradeKey performed a fantastic job pushing and selling our things for us.

We wish to use TradeKey to acquire new consumers, highlight our competitive advantage, and enhance our brand. I've found a website with a promising future, and I'm convinced you will too.

We bought the Services in early October 2011. The initial success of TradeKey's Business Consultant was in selling our national dealership in Asia and creating our brand recognition in the highly regulated Lift Cranes industry.

If you actually want to grow, I strongly advise all current and future users to get GoldKey Membership rather than wasting time with the free membership since you will instantly begin making good money.

Hi, I'm from the United States, and I've been working in this field for 30 years. I was looking for a B2B gateway that would help me develop my business into new locations. So, after comparing Tradekey to other B2B portals, I chose to join because they didn't appear to have as much potential or as many assured services as Tradekey.

Since May 2020, we've closed USD 7300 orders, all of which came through our Tradekey account. In order to get reputable services that will minimise company risk and increase growth, I compare Tradekey's services to those of others.

This is my success story. In 2005, I needed a plastic source for the shell of my invention, so I looked it up on the internet. I found Tradekey, and the plastic supplier I found there is still providing me to this day.

Our firm received a large number of relevant enquiries and was able to strengthen their product and company's international image. Thank you very much, Tradekey.

I'd want to highlight TradeKey's continuous growth as an example of strong business. Our firm joined TradeKey.com as a GoldKey member and has been with them for over a year. Customers have more faith in Many Hairs since we are a TradeKey.com premium member.

Tradekey has a thorough procedure in place for evaluating their elite members; we had to go through numerous rounds of rigorous testing before being approved to receive premium services and enjoy the benefits of being an elite member.

I'd want to emphasise our continued success with TradeKey as an example of good business. Our company became a GoldKey member of TradeKey.com and has been with them for over a year. Customers have more trust in Many Hairs since we are a premium member of TradeKey.com.

We began with a Gold Membership and have since upgraded to a Platinum Membership with additional benefits. We reasoned that if Gold Membership had had such great results, any new services would be advantageous.

I'd like to thank TradeKey.com for giving our company with highly targeted global exposure by optimising our goods for faster searches. I was impressed with TradeKey's Industrial Key Account Manager's professional demeanour, as he answered my inquiries patiently and politely.

We initially joined TradeKey as a free member to learn more about the B2B Marketplace, and it has immediately proven beneficial when it began to provide results. We wanted more privileges to get the most out of it, so we upgraded to SilverKey Membership.

I started looking for trade firms on the internet. Following that, I chose three businesses and applied them to each of them. I soon realized that “TradeKey” was the main source of inquiries and demand for my products and services. The marketing and sales tools are unparalleled in the industry.

Because of his dedicated services, I was able to close a $27, 000 deal, which gave me confidence in TradeKeys' services. I was fresh to the B2B sector, but because to TradeKeys' experience and professionalism, I was able to comprehend the platform's intricacies.

In October 2012 we received far more inquiries from Tradekey than from any other known B2B. Excellent work.

I'd like to recommend TradeKey.com to the business community as the greatest B2B website for maximising trade operations, particularly if you upgrade to Premium Membership. There's no need to go any further if you're wanting to expand from a small number of buyers to a vast array of new options, TradeKey is the place to be!

I contacted many B2B platform reps. One day, a tradekey agent phoned me. He also discussed how they can help me start my global business.

I was persuaded and joined Tradekey's gold key membership. a dedicated and experienced trade manager was assigned to me. He was really helpful in getting me started. In appreciation of his hard work and tradekey help.

I'd want to share my success with you all in terms of the leads I've gotten from Tradekey.com. The finest of all services is the Personal Relationship Manager (DRM), who provides dedicated assistance to members and ensures that obligations are met on time. My company's board of directors is happy and satisfied with the outcomes TradeKey continues to provide. We received a large number of inquiries: over 1000 leads and over 2000 emails, prompting me to continue working with TradeKey. We're completely overwhelmed by the quantity of buyer and seller enquiries we've received. There are a lot of questions in the closing process, and I'm sure they'll be answered shortly.
We received requests from as many as 150 firms to utilise their services and advertise their products. This is a significant accomplishment for us. I'm glad to say that I have a lot of faith in Tradekey.com and am satisfied with the results we've accomplished. “Providing world-class service involves aggressively assisting customers, which frequently necessitates cross-selling. Providing a high-quality product and backing it up with high-quality service equals great sales.” Regards In the Interest of Bright Idea Projects

We were able to dramatically improve our brand recognition because of TradeKey. We got the opportunity to experience its excellent customer support service as a premium member, which assisted us in reaching serious buyers in a very short amount of time. Because of Tradekey's trustworthiness, great client connections, and smart processes for recognising business possibilities, sales increase and time spent gaining new consumers decreases. For more than two years, we've been a part of the TradeKey family. However, less than a year ago, we made the decision to upgrade to premium membership. The distinction is clear. The visibility of the product has significantly improved. The number of serious purchasers searching for a joint venture has increased.

I am extremely pleased and happy with Tradekey business. In the year 2006, I became a free member of Tradekey.com. As a Free Member, I received a number of legitimate enquiries, and business was fast. However, as the number of providers grew, so did the level of competition. As a result, I felt compelled to seek out premium membership. Beginning in August 2007, I began working as a Silverkey Member. We completed agreements with customers from Europe and North America in our first year as Silverkey members. I appreciate Tradekey because they have improved our business and provided us with actual benefits and a higher return than we expected. We aim to work with our clients on a long-term basis that benefits both of us.

I'm an understudy of engineering degree and I have a great deal of interest in engineering tools. I show my costs to doing low maintenance occupations in cafés and lodgings by cleaning floors and now and then being awaitor. There is no disgrace in doing hard work. However, I felt that how long will this be working. So due to my interest in Tools, I began my online business of engineering tools and instruments. I began it on Amazon yet the opposition was extreme and many were potential dealers of quality tools. I was seeing no improvement in the medication business.

My companion proposed to me a B2B fraud free tradekey site for my business. I bought into their reasonable bundle with every one of my reserve funds. Following not many days because of no calls and anything, I joined the eateries once more. On the second day or rejoining, a customer called to purchase tools in colossal stocks and I was shocked by that. He nearly bought twelve tools which helped me alot in my costs. The business got more energized with the appearance of more customers. That is the manner by which Tradekey upheld me like a mentor. Much obliged to you tradekey for the assistance and backing.

Clothing apparel business of my friend on Amazon.com was not up to the mark and she was not satisfied with her business since there was no profit which could help her grow more. She handed over her business to me calling it a dead business. Now I had an established business with me and no clients at all. So if you need to fix your car then you need an expert and that expert is a mechanic.
SImilarly, I thought of running into experts for “now mine” business. I thought that I did not have to pay any money for the business. How about paying the professionals to gather clients for the business. Tradekey.com was my first priority for their discounted packages and they came under my budget with satisfying services. Tradekey helped me with clients of all types and soon I had plenty of purchasers of apparels of all sorts. Many demanded some western apparels and few demanded eastern apparels. I have made them satisfied with these new apparels in our stocks. Thank you Tradekey for boosting my business and I value Tradekey feedback on this too. It’s time to share the business with my friend again.
