Purchasing scarface paintings from over seas sellers is an area that on the surface of it should be fairly straight forward straight forward. With large sums of money regard it as you normally would any financial risk and proceed with the utmost caution. All very run of the mill so far, normal business methods. But here things start to take a few twists. If you you are normally buying from UK suppliers then you are possibly not aware of the level of risk involved. At the very least you rely upon a common language, local laws and if all else fails the knowledge that there are a bevy of rules and official bodies to help you in recovering your loss. I'll back track slightly here with an observation. If you are importing for resale then you would have looked around extensively on the internet to find the best prices. Your search will undoubtedly have brought foreign suppliers to your attention and the variety of products very appealing. The places most likely to crop up will be China and India. A great selection and something of a great start. The most logical thing to do is to start looking through their websites and get some quotations. Still all very manageable. So what's the issue? Well firstly you are only looking at the ones you found on the internet, which means just the people who have the best search engine position, unless you went back to page 20. I personally don't feel at ease with that selection process, I would rather find the most reliable supplier. What I want in effect is a reliable supplier who meets strict criteria. If you are aware of The Good Pub Guide , then you know what is meant if you also try using pub listings from the web. The issue is of independent reviews, these sellers are salesmen and will possibly make elaborate claims to get your money. This is where the directories such as Alibaba can be able to help with their gold supplier status etc. Instead they are just simple advertising medium which will prioritize paying advertisers and therefore number of views an advert gets much the same way that major search engines sells its pay per click ads.

So given that it's like the old days of the west out there what can be done? Well at Moko Art we were made to rely upon traditional intuition and common sense. I disregarded Indonesian sellers after an awful experience with another business and after looking at the products for sale China seemed the favourite. It was a very price as well as product driven decision but the prices and the seller had yet to be established. Many many emails later the field was quickly narrowing. This is where MSN messenger comes into its own, an opportunity to quiz the person and gauge a few characteristics. I'll tell you now this eventually failed as he pretended to be the company owner but was in effect a simple farmer turned sales person. The draw of the money was enough to make this guy into a raving criminal. This is the big problem cash is king and with low wages then the opportunity to make a weeks salary off of selling to you means the temptation to lie is huge. The ultimate problems I had were product quality, they completed the order but to a low standard. The lowest possible level of quality. That is where you need to concentrate, find as reliable a supplier as possible then question your self how do I know what I am going to get and what can I do about it if it's not what you thought I was purchasing.
