Posting Buying Leads


A Buying Lead is a purchase request posted by a buyer. Essentially, it is an invitation to suppliers to send their quotes regarding a certain product or product range.

Post a Buying Lead if you cannot find the products you want to source on Alibaba.com. Most suppliers do not post their entire inventory, so tell suppliers what you want and let the right suppliers come to you.

When posting your Buying Leads, you can specify your preferred method of contact or conceal your company information.

To post Buying Leads without disclosing contact information, please take the following steps:

  • Sign in at My Alibaba
  • Click Post a New Buying Lead in the Buying Tools section
  • Complete the form
  • In the My Contact Preference section, please select Allow all members to contact me by email only while concealing my other contact details
  • Click Post Now to submit
