Tips For Buyers - What Should Buyers Do?

Buyers should register on B2B websites (some b2b portals give access without registration), post their buying needs (buy offers/buying leads) and search products and/or sell offers section. If they find required product, they should send inquiry to the seller.

Buyers can also set trade alerts i.e. when their required product is posted by a seller, an alert is sent to them (mostly in the form of email).

There are a lot of sellers who are involved in fraud, so buyers should be very careful while doing any kind of business transactions with sellers/suppliers. Some business-to-business websites provide features such as verified suppliers, audit reports of suppliers, trust points etc for buyers' satisfaction and facilitation. However, these things do not give 100% guarantee. So, buyers should review company profile of sellers, call them to confirm their location, compare their prices, ask for legal documents and take any measure that they can to make their transactions secure.
