Am I missing something? I can't seem to find the sourcing tab.
I sent an inquire to one merchant about a specific item type and received NO re from the seller BIUT was bombarded with Alibaba account invite and news letters, contact from some one claiming the spot of guide, who also never actually responded to any questions, and have had to block mail from alababa in order to get off their list.
Unsub means nothing. of course.
I am not excited or even pleased with this acquasition and want to know one thing only

I have made 5 purchases from 5 individual sellers on Ali express. I only purchase men's wristwatches. Here are my obsservations.
!. Site is very cumbersome. To little listings per page,should be at least 200 per page. Also no way to narrow your search,you have to scroll thru alot of junk to find what you want.
2. Web pages and the sellers have a familar look and and feel. Just like I offer.com
3. Just like on I offer one seller sent the wrong watch. Postage to send it bsack plus the postage to get it are more than the actual watch.
4. Another watch arrived damaged not working,note above comment, cheaper to have it repaired here.
5. You can can find deals and bargins on this site,but please tread carefully with your eyes open, and payapl portection is worth a ton more than the escrow they offer.

While we are refining the integration of AliExpress with Auctiva, we are rolling this feature out to users in phases.
If you want to start taking advantage of great AliExpress deals but you don’t see “Sourcing” among the navigation tabs when you log into your Auctiva account, all you need to do is just follow these simple instructions for adding this new feature to your account:
1. Log into your Auctiva account.
2. Enable Sourcing by clicking on this link.
You should now see the Sourcing tab in your account.
Be sure to sign up for a free AliExpress account through your Auctiva account to ensure you qualify for all promos, special offers and discounts that are EXCLUSIVE for Auctiva users.
Happy selling and happy sourcing,

As is true with any overseas online purchase, buyers need to do their homework. Select suppliers carefully. Look at their feedback. Do they have a track record of satisfying customers?
AliExpress recently added a "Top-Rated Products" search filter that makes identifying high-quality products from trustworthy suppliers very convenient.
Next week, we'll be releasing a newly designed Sourcing Landing page with a video walk-through and several tutorials that will help you navigate this new site and get great wholesale deals.
If you do have a problem with a purchase, contact the supplier. If they don't make it right, you can easily file a dispute with AliExpress. Because the site has an escrow feature, the supplier won't receive his/her money until you indicate you are satisfied with your purchase and/or any disputes are settled. One caveat to remember is that funds will be released if you don't file a dispute soon after the item is received.

based on the established history in my own personal experiences with Alibaba, and the other seller /buyer who has had five independent exchanges, all of which were challenging and insecure, I would say that this was a very very bad move for Auctiva.
I don't know what "Sourcing" is for example, or how it is supposed to work. Not because I haven't looked, but because I don't have a day to waste searching and cyphering through the very user-not-friendly site of hype and sales pitches.
Even on Auctiva you have to sign up for a membership of some level to be told the straight of most necessities.
On Alibaba it's worse.
I had to establish an account to ask a question of a dealer. I have an item that it was almost impossible to find information on.
A seller on alibaba had a sample of it.
I signed up, sent my question.
received a stilted "I have no idea what you mean" translated reply, and there after was bombarded with SPAM from Alibaba.
I was even sent email from some one claiming to be my persoanl rep but who only wanted me to buy or sell GOLG+D.
yeah... and I never made any mention that I was buying or looking to buy anything at all.
I have blocked all email from alibab and the person by name because there were NO REPLIES to any responses to the email address provided by the CSR supposedly assigned to "my account".
Already they are in bad standing.
It's Chinese and culturally does NOT translate into service minded relations.
Socialism and sociable are not the same.
