"Top Chinese Company Expands Battle Against Fraud to Its Blog"

DHgate.com posts warning letter from buyer and the ID of problem seller

Beijing, China (PRWEB) January 7, 2008 - In its continuing effort to root out fraud and problem sellers, Chinese B-to-B firm, DHgate.com (http://www.dhgate.com), recently took the bold step of publishing the ID of a problem seller on its blog.

The seller, who is identified in a blog post (see below), has both continually offered merchandise it does not have in stock and failed to ship the correct merchandise to buyers. DHgate.com, as part of its quality control system designed to root out problem sellers and merchandise, has taken the unusual step of posting a complaint about the seller on its blog.

"While we can ban sellers once we learn of their fraudulent acts, we also feel that identifying some sellers in a public manner helps to reduce such problems," said Diane Wang, CEO of DHgate.com. "We believe doing so will help prevent other sellers from engaging in similar behavior."

The blog regarding this seller can be read at http://blog.dhgate.com/2007/12/17/buyer-letter-from-claudio/.

"We want buyers to know they can purchase with confidence on DHgate.com, the 'Wholesale Fast Trading Marketplace'." Diane added. "We are continually looking for new ways to help protect buyers on our website."

In addition to identifying problem sellers, DHgate.com's Trust Marketing and Escrow Payment procedures help reduce transaction risks for buyers around the world.
