Provide a human-operated procurement desk that reviews the seller, confirms the product specification and final invoice, estimates duties and shipping, and documents every transaction before payment. The service can also coordinate samples, third-party inspections, safer payment terms, shipment tracking, and dispute evidence. Begin with fixed-fee purchase checks and expand into managed sourcing for repeat buyers.

Cross-border marketplaces make overseas sourcing accessible to very small businesses, but marketplace trust and support have not kept pace with that accessibility. The repeated complaints about seller fraud, price changes, customs surprises, and unresolved disputes create demand for an independent buyer-side operator.
