    Hi,

    I was wondering if there is any directory of legitimate companies to deal with for importing products to Ireland, or is it just the luck of the draw.
    I know alot of it is down to your own homework and due diligence, but I would have thought there would be some sort of list of well-known and reliable companies to start off with.

    cheers in advance. :)

Alibaba.com also owns and operates Yahoo! China, which it acquired in October of 2005.

    Theres scammers on all sites, you just have to know who to buy from, looking at different factors like name of person, address, year the business started.etc.
