Below is my policy of dealing with fraud-spreading people. It may fit you when you do foreign trade in China:
6y8X0c-G:@3i"_FOB Business Forumwww.fobshanghai.com;F8M7v*w+o;{
1.    Never trust them. Strictly comply with you policy, do not compromise for little profit. Do not be near-sight. www.fobshanghai.com4k%}0p*h$r1]%S u
2.    Never give in. Although you might have been working with them for long, but 1 single mistake will turn your business down, completely. Remember, once policy is made, every side should comply with it, no other excuses, no exceptions.
)C-J(f5I,I5\1_business forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business3.    Verbally be friend with them, in a good manner. Some of them could be your partners. Even though you find any clue of cheating, don??t be angry. Such people are everywhere. Just still be friendly and don??t bite the bait. business forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business X"s"z2]!p4e7h
4.    Don??t quote immediately when they request. Real customer are prepared to come to you, try to find if they have anything on hand. ;s"V;}&A.U&C6@
5.    Strict payment term. If people really intend to buy, this is not the most important issue for him.

Good customer will negotiate with you to reach your bottom line, that is business skill. But if they say I want everything cheap, you got to think it over. I myself don??t do such business, for many reasons.
:x#E*A/d ?1_4l5qbusiness forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil business7.    Samples. Don??t release samples without caution. Your sample might be going to your competitors, unless no one can offer better. Or you may not hear from the buyer again. Fix price first and request sample cost, no matter how cheap it is.

10.    Last word I want to say is, black people hate us and look down upon us. So you are welcome to make money from them, if you can, and lucky enough! Best wishes.

sounds reasonable and wise.

Something special,isn't it?

Don't belive any thing unless your get them.

Thanks for your sharing,It's very helpful  for me.

maybe for Chinese sellers, to get the money first will be the safest payment terms.

No money assured, no goods

Really good points.Thanks very much indeed!

i think your first line is right. becoz one time i lost my old client. we believe them, so we gave them goods without payment. but we failed to contact with them. and we coudn't claim, becoz our contract was lost by our boss's wife. so what can i say? nothing. just don't believe, but truely.
