Sourcing Knowledge Center / Ask the Sourcing Experts / When ordering from a China supplier, do I need to pay the entire amount in advance?
Full Question
I am first time buyer and the seller is insisting that I should pay 100% in advance by TT or Western Union. What should I do? How can I verify that the dealer is genuine or not?
Answer
Generally speaking, payment terms are negotiable. Unless you are buying a very small order, the normal payment terms are 30-70. 30% deposit and 70% AFTER independent inspection. I would also like to direct you to the following links for articles and videos which cover this topic:
