have you seen this?

which websites you are using to source from China? my friends and I are using Alibaba.com and made-in-china.com. I contacted some facotories in Globalsources.com before, but no much return since my order was too small for them, not free order and nor dropshipping.
why ebay do this? It's no a good idea to let the consumer buyers to know all the price information from the factories and wholesale, that will increase my communication cost.
Perhaps, this partnership is one Ebay marketing action to compete with Alibaba and Taobao in the China market, but please think more about our international sellers.
Answer
I wonder how many PS (or others) will indicate that their items, purchased wholesale from China, are made in China and 100% knockoffs.
