Alibaba Product mismatch. Garbage received instead of order

Hello. We are a company of Lorgano. We are in Ukraine. We are engaged
in mechanical engineering. We would like to complain to you about an
unscrupulous supplier from the Alibaba site. We worked with Wuxi
Respect Trade Co., Ltd.
(https://rsbk123.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.12243863.0.0.6b6de1daRC1Kk4)
The correspondence about the purchase was long, they could not give us
the final price for a long time. Twice we paid extra for our goods. As
a result - we just sent garbage in the package. and they said that for
the money that we paid us nothing else was supposed to. It's horrible.
There is no more confidence in the site that we were recommended as
one of the best in China. Very disappointed.

Alibaba fake rfqs/scam

There have been more than 150 fake RFQ/scams with the fake RFQs on Alibaba impersonating our CEO/company.

They are so obvious that we get inquiries every day by Chinese companies and companies from all over the world.

It is pretty much the same text within the fake RFQs, spread over different countries Alibaba's support is totally incompetent as if they are all bots.

We have sent them everything which proves that these are fake/scam RFQs. All the links, our business reg. no., our website, official state company register, even emails by suppliers that were scammed.

Alibaba refuses to take them down, chatted/used email, hours and hours. The only explanation for this is, because Alibaba makes money by publishing fake RFQs so that those bidders (suppliers) pay money to Alibaba to quote on fake RFQs.

Hence, anybody quoting should know that many RFQs on Alibaba might be fake.

Alibaba Unethical behavior and unauthorized credit card charge

I paid $145 plus 2.95 % for this item but received $11 less when I got the refund back.
The supplier changed price after I placed order and wanted me to pay $60 more. This is quite dishonesty and I feel the supplier should be charged for the Alibaba fees. Also why $11 is charged on my account. I was my full amount back immediately.

My ph # on the account is wrong. please update that to [protected]

Alibaba glass jars

We bought $40, 000 worth of glass from this company. They send us only some of the glass and kept our money. This issue has been going on for 7 months. Alibaba Trade Assurance has not been any assistance.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY IT IS A COMPLETE FRAUD.

I dont believe this company actually makes glass jars. I believe they are a reseller. They charged us for "custom glass items". They cannot produce this.

Alibaba purchasing process

To day I was trying to place an order at Alibaba shopping site for a HC-801LTE Scout Cam, when after hitting payment button, followed by verification via SMS code was processed, I expected a confirmation screen window! Instead, and ERROR message window appeared telling me that my session expired and I should LOG-IN again, basically fooling into believing the transaction did not go through, with shopping cart indicating (1), so I reorder the same product again and with exactly the same result, when in fact they charged my credit card instantly, and I have received emails stating that both payments went through and also when clicking on the shopping cart still showing (1), the page was stating "Empty". When trying to cancel these orders straight away they put you through to this Chat Board where it doesn't matter what you write, they will give you these stupid questionnaires with unrelated crap leading NOWHERE!

This is a money grabbing trap nothing short of Credit Card FRAUD!
