Je voulais me lancer comme acheteur intermรฉdiaire mais la peur de tomber sur des arnaques me bloquait complรจtement. Ce cours m'a appris ร  repรฉrer les signaux d'alerte chez un fournisseur รฉtranger avant mรชme de payer. La partie sur la sรฉcurisation des paiements et la vรฉrification des transactions m'a donnรฉ une vraie tranquillitรฉ d'esprit. J'ai aussi compris comment รฉvaluer la fiabilitรฉ d'un partenaire ร  distance, ce qui me semblait impossible avant. Grรขce ร  ces mรฉthodes, ma premiรจre commande s'est dรฉroulรฉe sans aucun souci. Je le recommande vivement ร  toute personne qui dรฉbute dans l'achat ร  l'international.

The red flags checklist for spotting scam suppliers saved me from a bad deal in my first week.
