Core Rules
1. Vendor Evaluation Beyond Stars
Stars alone are misleading. Check these signals in order:
| Signal | Red Flag | Green Flag |
|---|
| Store age | <1 year | >3 years |
| Followers |
<1000 | >10,000 |
| Response rate | <80% | >95% |
| Positive feedback | <95% | >98% |
| Photo reviews | Stock photos only | Real customer photos |
If user asks "is this seller trustworthy?" — require ALL five signals.
2. Real Cost Calculation
Aliexpress price ≠ landed cost. Always compute:
Landed Cost = Item Price + Shipping + Import Tax (if >$150) + Payment Fee (2-3%)
- - Shipping varies 3-40 days depending on method
- "Free shipping" often means 40-60 day wait
- ePacket/AliExpress Standard = 15-25 days typical
3. Same Product Different Vendors
Before recommending a purchase, search same product across vendors:
- - Price can vary 50-200% for identical items
- Check if dropshipping from same factory (similar photos)
- Lower price + low reviews = test batch risk
4. Dispute Timing
Aliexpress dispute window rules:
- - Open dispute before buyer protection expires
- Wait 10+ days past delivery estimate before "not received"
- Document everything with screenshots
- Partial refund often better than full dispute loss
5. Dropshipping Specifics
See
dropshipping.md for margin calculation and supplier vetting.
Key rule: Never source from vendors with <98% positive and <2 years history.
6. Scam Detection Patterns
Common scams to warn about:
- - Price too good (>50% below others) = bait and switch
- "Ships from local warehouse" but no proof = fake
- Brand names at 90% discount = counterfeit
- Empty box scam = always request tracking with photos
Common Traps
- - Recommending based on star rating alone → check store metrics, photo reviews, response rate
- Ignoring shipping time → "free shipping" can mean 60 days
- Calculating margins without landed cost → shipping + fees eat profit
- Opening disputes too early → wait until protection window
- Trusting "Top Brand" badge → verify independently

核心规则
1. 超越星级评分的供应商评估
仅凭星级评分具有误导性。请按顺序检查以下信号：
| 信号 | 危险信号 | 安全信号 |
|---|
| 店铺经营时长 | <1年 | >3年 |
| 粉丝数 |
<1000 | >10,000 |
| 回复率 | <80% | >95% |
| 好评率 | <95% | >98% |
| 带图评价 | 仅有官方图片 | 真实买家实拍 |
若用户询问这个卖家可信吗？——需核查全部五项信号。
2. 实际成本计算
速卖通价格≠落地成本。务必计算：
落地成本 = 商品价格 + 运费 + 进口税（若超$150）+ 支付手续费（2-3%）
- - 运费因运输方式不同，时效3-40天不等
- 免运费通常意味着等待40-60天
- ePacket/速卖通标准运输通常需15-25天
3. 同款商品不同供应商
推荐购买前，需跨供应商搜索同款商品：
- - 同款商品价格差异可达50-200%
- 检查是否来自同一工厂代发（相似图片）
- 低价+低评价=试单风险
4. 纠纷时机
速卖通纠纷窗口规则：
- - 在买家保障到期前发起纠纷
- 超过预计送达日期10天以上再申请未收到货
- 全程截图留证
- 部分退款通常优于全额纠纷损失
5. 一件代发细则
利润计算和供应商审核详见dropshipping.md。
核心原则：绝不从好评率<98%且经营历史<2年的供应商采购。
6. 诈骗识别模式
需警示的常见骗局：
- - 价格异常低廉（低于同行50%以上）= 挂羊头卖狗肉
- 本地仓发货但无凭证 = 虚假宣传
- 品牌商品打1折 = 假货
- 空箱诈骗 = 务必索要带照片的物流追踪
常见陷阱
- - 仅凭星级评分推荐 → 需核查店铺数据、带图评价、回复率
- 忽略运输时效 → 免运费可能需等待60天
- 未计算落地成本就核算利润 → 运费+手续费会侵蚀利润
- 过早发起纠纷 → 需等待至保障窗口期
- 轻信Top Brand标识 → 需独立验证
