I don’t understand it sucks 😢
Wechat asking me i need to be recommended by someone who has been using it for 3 months
What does this mean
uhmm…It is a verification check. How long have you been on wechat?
I’m trying to search the contact of supplier on 1688 but I can’t find their numbers
If you are using a computer, click on the Contact menu in the product page
In addition, take a look at the top of the page and look for the phone numbers.
I had been finding it difficult to be fully registered in wechat. Is there any way to go around the security checks?
No there is no other way to go about it. Try it again or use someone’s else phone to do it.
Keep trying it. Don’t overdo it. If it doesn’t work, leave it till next day. Also, you should register on 1688 to get access to suppliers directly without wechat
Does someone need to use vpn before going to those sites?
Am unable to verify my we chart account, I don’t know if you can do that for me?
Is that a new account or an old account?
