target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1688.com<\/a> is a legal Chinese supplier directory. All 1688 suppliers have gotten business licenses. Every day, many transactions are carried out. And 1688 site has regulations and methods to keep online trading safe. So, you don\u2019t have to worry about 1688\u2019s overall environment.<\/p><p>Note 1688 is specially designed for Chinese businessmen to find and compare suppliers. <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-1688-vs-alibaba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Compared with Alibaba<\/a>, an international wholesale website, many importers think it is more likely to <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-how-to-find-a-manufacturer-in-china\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">find direct Chinese factories<\/a> in 1688 and assume that suppliers on Alibaba are 2nd or 3rd middlemen.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #ff9933\"><strong><b>In fact, not all suppliers in 1688 are factories in China.<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h3><p>There are both <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/5-type-chinese-trading-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chinese trading companies<\/a> and factories. This is the same as Alibaba and <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-alibaba-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other wholesale websites<\/a>.<\/p><p>Moreover, I tell you the truth &#8212; many Chinese suppliers have stores not only in 1688 but also on <a href=\"https:\/\/jingsourcing.com\/b-alibaba-vs-aliexpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alibaba or AliExpress<\/a>. That is to say, you may find the same supplier in 1688 and Alibaba.<\/p><p>For example, some friends of mine who have a factory display their products and receive overseas orders on Alibaba stores. At the same time, they will upload products to 1688 and AliExpress. It is not expensive for them to settle 1688 and AliExpress platforms, but it helps to expand their sales channels for products to a certain extent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b58ed4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b58ed4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5a591a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b5a591a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"c2\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 id=\"c2\"><strong><b>Can anyone buy from 1688?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2><p>1688 is mostly used by Chinese buyers.
