If you’ve bought from China before you may have used Alibaba.com to source a supplier.
Alibaba is a B2B website where sellers can post keyword rich adverts for their products or services to attract potential buyers.
Just like on any B2B platform or Ecommerce site it is important your ads stand out from the competition by making your products look and sound great.

Do you think all the above are simply honest mistakes or is there some reason to this rudeness?
hey richard,
all of these typos and mistakes are due to poor english skills of Chinese staffs of those suppliers’ companies, these are all done unintentionally.
so that’s why buyers can’t expect excellent, even good user experiences on sites like alibaba, it’s a purchasing platform and all sellers are companies of small and medium sized.
the listing pages on alibaba.com are more like yellow pages listing services in business directories in the US, but the difference is for small businesses in China, they don’t have much knowledge of internet marketing in international business world, so you see poor designed business sites, including stock photos, copied web copies and things that are amateurish.
