Who is responsible for the review
Service operator and human review
ChinaTradeResolve is an independent project operating from Serbia. It helps connect order terms, payment records, supplier messages and dispute evidence into one clear picture. Automated tools may organise materials, but important case conclusions require human review.
Service operator and data controller: Eduard Tsagolov (Эдуард Цаголов).
- Эдуард Цаголов
- chinatraderesolve.support@gmail.com
- Monday–Friday, 09:00–17:00 Belgrade time (CET/CEST). Initial response within 2 business days.
- The project grew from practical experience organising a large body of messages, payment records and evidence in a dispute with a Chinese supplier. It is not a law firm and does not claim professional legal qualifications.
AI may help organise materials and answer general questions. Final conclusions and outgoing documents require human review.
Training example: evidence-based assessment
Fictional dates and evidence IDs show exactly how facts connect to conclusions and next actions.
Training example
| Issue | Evidence | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Material differs from written specification | E01 order · E02 supplier confirmation · E05 photos | Composition still needs objective proof |
| Promised component appears missing | E01 specification · E04 delivery list · E05 photos | Confirm that E01 was the final agreed version |

Important questions
Do you guarantee a refund?
No. The outcome depends on the evidence, contract, payment method, marketplace rules and the supplier’s response.
Do you work only with Alibaba disputes?
No. Cases may involve Alibaba, AliExpress, Made-in-China or direct supplier contracts.
Are you a law firm?
No. ChinaTradeResolve is not a law firm. It helps organise evidence and next steps; a draft claim or message may be prepared only when that is separately agreed for the specific case.
How is AI used?
The public assistant gives general process and evidence guidance. AI may also help organise and compare materials, but important conclusions and outgoing documents require human review.
Who can see my materials?
Documents can be uploaded only through the private case link. Access is limited to the agreed review; files are not sent to a supplier, marketplace or other third party without an action agreed with you.
Free help for buyers before purchasing from China and when supplier problems arise.
