Alibaba.com,
a part of Alibaba group holdings limited, is one of the biggest B2B
trading portals in the world, which was established in 1999, in
China. Alibaba is the top B2B marketplace present in the world. The
history behind the naming of the company comes from the tales of
Alibaba and the 40 thieves, a tale from a folk-tales collection known
as One Thousand and One Nights, as Jack Ma, one of the founders, told
in an interview.

one of the biggest marketplaces almost every company wants to be on
Alibaba. Alibaba.com provides various selling plans/packages for
businesses to choose from. These packages differ from each other in
lead generation and exposure. Also, Alibaba offers a gold supplier
membership trying to ensure that the sellers are authentic, not
frauds. There have been some cases where some trusted buyers were
found to be frauds but that issue has been solved by Alibaba. Now,
all the sellers are authenticated and verified before providing them
with the gold supplier status.

has an RFQ (request for quotation), in which the buyer submits the
request for quotation for a specific product directly to Alibaba
rather than to a specific buyer. Then the sellers can view the RFQ
and send their quotations to the buyers. Alibaba also organizes
digital trade shows where you can show off your products and gain
exposure. Join the trade show as an exhibitor to gain access to a
large audience.
