most secure method is to have advance payment by bank and in case transactions are really big then by Letter of Credit (LC)

My company is in the business of nutrition foods.We would like to distribute brand name products oversees. My original question were:

a) How to find reputable buyers on the internet .What is a well-known website to make
quality contact for leads.Is it really worth paying the premiums to join for a fee on some sites? , and become a member at These sites/marketplaces? ie: ALIBABBA.COM


b)In terms of payment,transaction I had in mind the usage of PAY-PAL OR MONEY WIRE.
is there a problem with that?

c)What are the functions my website must! have.I want the site to become all-inclusive
for various cultrues.For example translation language,colors,customer service What should I do?

There are a lot of factors that could affect in the success of your business. But with proper preparations and equipped with the right knowledge, problems would be easy to handle. I could just recommend the Import Mentor. It will help you a lot on how to start an import business. I hope for the best in your import/export business.

Paypal is becoming a more accepted version of payments - especially as you now do not have to be a member to send or receive money. Saying this, it still puts off some people when they see the Paypal sign...

Your web designer will look at your needs and come up with a list of must haves for your site. All sites are different and therefore the must haves will differ depending on what you are trying to achieve. I would anticipate that with your site you would want it to be a full e-commerce site which makes a shopping cart, full MYSQL database site a must. If you want some more info, please let me know and i can have a look in more detail at your business and website requirements.
