Honestly, there is probably only an occassional odd company that would scam you on Alibaba. Unless...its a language/miscommunication issue. Otherwise, their account is worth too much just to scam a few orders. You know they can't do it for long as bad reviews keep piling up. I know of mid sized companies that spends six figures USD on Ads alone, on Alibaba, per month! Their subscription is annual and is quite hefty too, depending on how many accounts you need.
Even if you meet with an irrational company who does scam you, guess what? You're protected by Alibaba if you pay thru them.
I feel that if you buy from Alibaba, u better already know what you want. If you do that, should be a breeze
