First Shipping… (Need help)

​

Hi everyone!

I never thought I would start selling on Amazon, but I am.

I’m considering buying goods from China and selling them on different e-commerce sites.

I have found many suppliers offering the products I am interested in, but almost all of them refuse to accept small orders for market testing. However, almost all of them refuse to accept small orders for market testing. I eventually found two suppliers willing to accept small orders so I can test the market. They have different names and I thought they were different manufacturers.

Today, however, I noticed that their business license numbers are the same in the audited report, even though their names are different.

Since this is my first time ordering from Alibaba, I don’t know how to verify if they are legitimate manufacturers or if they are trying to deceive me.

Could you help me by recommending ways to verify the supplier before I place my order?

Any help would be much appreciated!

TIA
