There are basically three kinds of similar services that are currently available on the net: 1. Some companies charge substantial fees for submitting their clients' URL/business to major search engines or placing ads in their web sites, trade/business newsgroups or mailing lists. We believe, however, any on-line service charge should be nominal, if any. That's why we only charge US$ 20.00 for our membership program. We encourage our users to post their ads to the public trade/business newsgroups and mailing lists by their own. The way we see it, it is really unnecessary to pay too much to have your ads posted on the net. As soon as you know how to do it yourself, you would find it's pretty easy and you would certainly get the same response rates as what you paid for in the past. 2. A few other web sites just list ads headlines in their bulletin boards. The problem is that most people do not post their requirements first and many would place their companies' names and addresses at the front. So when people visit the websites, they would see a string of companies' names/addreses first and have no ideas what the ads are all about. To see the ads in details, people would have to open the ads one by one (the numbers may be anywhere from 20 to 100). 3. Other web sites offer a better ads format for people to view all the buy/sell offers directly without going into further pages. The problems are, however, that "offer to buy/import" and "offer to sell/export" are always mixed together and there are too many repeated messages listed on board at the same time. For people who wish to download new offers, they may have to download 100-200K every time. Plus, these web sites may not have search engines. In our on-line bulletin board, however, people may search/view new and old buy/sell offers separately. At the first, you may type the name of your product in the search engines and get a long list of new buy/sell offers that contain the keyword(s) instantly (takes just a few seconds). Then, if you decide to view new buy/sell offers manually one by one, you may simply click the link, or download it to your own computer hard drive if you don't want to spend too much time on the net. Offers are updated regularly in our bulletin board. Any invalid offers will be deleted from the trade centre immediately after being verified. We're trying to update our trade centre and deleting invalid offers everyday and use a "bonus" method to encourage our members to inform us of any invalid offers that they might find. According to our on-line records, over 2,000 serious offers and requests have been posted in our bulletin board since November 1, 1997 (as of September 1, 1998), much more than any other similar services. That's why we believe our service is better, more efficient and more cost-effective than any other similar services. That's why many of our users have renewed their subscription after trials.
May I try your service free of charge before I subscribe? Because we are really confident in the usefulnes and efficiency of our services, we are offering to any new visitor who registers on our site a 6-month trial period. During this trial period, you will be able to use the full range of the services of the site without any restrictions and without any engagement to keep on with your membership if you are not convinced at the end of the trial.
How much will it cost to use your services after the trial period?
The current monthly subscription fee is FF. 149 (approx. US$ 20) for unlimited access and usage of our services.
Discount rates are available for payment per 12-month period.
Why should I pay the US$20/month member fee? May I use your service for free? We charge the US$20/month user fee because we believe people are using our service to make profit. If anyone could convince us that he/she is using our service for non-profit purposes, we would be glad to grant him/her free membership.
Good question. The beauty of our services is that we can
save you a lot of time for searching all the newsgroups and web sites.
Our site will do all the search for you and even bring you business
to your Email. Though many newsgroups and web sites can provide you with free trade information,
you may find it's getting harder and harder to search all of them
manually with your eyes, and each day there are more and more new
messages being posted, 100, 1,000, 10,000..., together with "get
rich quick" schemes and many other irrelevant postings. If you spend 10
hours a month (20 minutes a day, which is underestimated for most
people) doing the search manually with your eyes, you may just need
1-2 minutes to get a much more comprehensive search result by using
our search engines. This might be especially important for people who
have to pay for the time they spent on the net.
How do I become a permanent member after the trial period? After the trial period, if you want to continue with our services and apply for a permanent membership, simply log on the system as usually. You will be automatically prompt to a screen allowing you to subscribe to our services.
How long does it take to have my account activated once I send the membership application?

How do I know that my trial period arrives to its end? Our system will automatically let you know by sending you an Email when the trial period arrives to its end. This Email will also include all information for you to subscribe without delay.
