Foreign trade bosses, in the previous issue we exposed the four major pitfalls of low-cost website building. Today's issue is"life-saving advice". As long as you adhere to these three bottom lines, you can safely avoid the pitfalls.
Core guidelines for avoiding pitfalls:
1. Check qualifications! It's both the foundation and the key:
Basic information: You must require the other party to provide the company's full name and business license, and independently verify it on official platforms like the "National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System".
Advanced background check: Prioritize service providers with official certifications like "Double Soft Certification" or "High-Tech Enterprise" status, as these companies are typically more standardized and reliable.
2. Reject advance payments! It's an iron rule and a red line:
Any request for you to pay upfront for any reason (such as procurement agents, product payments, or customs duties) is 100% a scam.
Remember: In legitimate foreign trade, the customer always pays you for goods. This is an unbreakable safety rule.
3. Trust the market! It's common sense but also judgment:
A truly professional, functional foreign trade website that can attract customers has a reasonable market development cost ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.Claims of"a few hundred yuan all-inclusive" are fundamentally illogical in business terms—low costs inevitably hide massive risks in quality, follow-up fees, or security.
To summarize: Avoiding website pitfalls comes down to strictly verifying qualifications upfront while trusting market principles, and firmly maintaining the financial bottom line of "no advance payments" afterward.
Entrepreneurship isn't easy—safety first. I hope these two issues genuinely help you.
