Practical safety habits for buyers and suppliers on B2B marketplaces: official domains, payment red flags, verification steps and complaint channels.
B2B marketplaces speed up discovery. Scammers try to speed up payment. The difference between a good trade and a loss is often process discipline.
1. Confirm the official website
For this platform, the official domain is worldwideexporter.in. Check the browser address bar before logging in or sharing documents.
2. Never pay “platform clearance” fees to individuals
Be suspicious of urgent requests to pay registration, tax or shipping fees to personal wallets or unrelated accounts.
3. Match invoice name to bank beneficiary
If the company on the invoice is not the account holder, stop and verify through a known channel.
4. Keep communication traceable
Prefer company emails and written quotations for commercial terms. Chat apps are fine for speed, not for the only record of price and specs.
5. Scale trust with order size
Small trials, samples and staged payments are rational for new relationships. Large full-advance payments to new counterparties are high risk.
Buyers: due diligence checklist. Everyone: report a complaint on the official domain.

Does HTTPS mean a site is safe to pay?
HTTPS protects data in transit; it does not prove a business is trustworthy.
Can Worldwide Exporter guarantee counterparties?
No. The marketplace supports discovery. Parties must verify transactions independently.
