How To Pay Your Suppliers The RIGHT Way

Now let's talk about paying our suppliers...

It's extremely important to pay our suppliers the right way, to avoid any
potential hiccups or obstacles.

There are 3 ways to pay your supplier:

1) PayPal
2) Alipay
3) Wire Transfer/TT

P.S Also Alibaba Trade Assurance if ordering bulk from Alibaba.

My preferred method at the very beginning when ordering samples and


paying suppliers for your first few hundred orders is PayPal.

PayPal has an absolutely amazing protection program that protects you from
losing your money in case the supplier screws up.

Make sure to always pay via 'Goods and Service'


If you pay via 'Friends and Family' you are NOT protected.

You have to offer them to cover a 4.5% PayPal fee that PayPal charges the
supplier to protect your order.

Later... once you are paying over $10,000 for bulk orders/bulk dropshipping, I
switch over to TT which is wire transfer from bank to bank.

Much cheaper, little fees... only thing is you're not protected whatsoever BUT
if you trust your supplier (and I assume you do by that time as you've done
business with them... then it's a no brainer.)
