I have been working Alibaba for some time now and thought that this book might help. The book was not bad and it does have some good information. I was not impressed with the interview of the founder of Alibaba. It didn't help learn how to use the site. I would caution anyone interested in this book that there is one potential pit fall. Alibaba is constantly upgrading and improving its website so some of the items in this book may have changed since it was written. If you are a beginner with Alibaba I would seriously consider reading this book. If you use eBay then you can probably figure out this website without it.

Alibaba.com connects users with a nearly endless stream of products and suppliers from around the world. This book tells how to avoid being overcome by the huge amount of information available and get the most out of the site. The site offers viewers access to over 5.5 million 'stores.' "Gold suppliers' have their documents verified, and get their listings posted first.

Alibaba was formed by 18 individuals meeting in an apartment a decade ago. It now has 13,000 employees serving Internet users in 240 nations and territories. Alibaba.com is the world's largest B2B marketplace. The group also provides Asia's largest consumer shopping destination (70-80% share of Chinese on-line shopping - TaoBao), and China's largest online payment platform (50% market share - Alipay).

The guide book also provides the usual 'buyer beware' notices about the perils of Internet trading, and the site's approach to dispute resolution.
