⚠️ 2024 update: We have moved to https://RepsGuide.com/guide/
Become a Recommended Seller
Things to note
The process may take time, because we are careful who we allow to sell in our community.
There are many scammers or dealers that bait & switch (send a different watch to the QC photos) and we cannot let this occur in our community.
You must have patience while we explore the opportunity of allowing new sellers into our community. Asking daily what the status is will not make it go any faster.
We are a community of replica watch customers with over 80,000 Reddit members and 9,000 Discord members.
The Wiki is used by thousands of people in the replica community.
With such a large community, it is important that we review each seller before they are listed as recommended.
A Recommended Seller is different to a 'Trusted Dealer', which is a title given by popular and strict replica watch forums, such as RWI and RepGeek.
Do not publicly discuss this review or vetting process with anyone.
Conversations between community mods and dealers are to remain private.
There will be no request for payment to be listed now or in future. Provided you serve the community well you will remain as a listed seller.
这个过程可能需要时间，因为我们对允许在社区中销售的人非常谨慎。有许多骗子或经销商会进行诱饵和转换（向 QC 照片发送不同的手表），我们不能让这种情况在我们的社区中发生。在我们探索允许新卖家进入我们社区的机会时，您必须要有耐心。每天询问状态并不会让事情进展得更快。我们是一个复刻手表客户社区，拥有超过 71,000 名 Reddit 会员和 7,600 名 Discord 会员。 Wiki 被复制品社区中的数千人使用。对于如此庞大的社区，我们在将每个卖家列为推荐之前对其进行审核非常重要。推荐卖家与“值得信赖的经销商”不同，“值得信赖的经销商”是由流行且严格的复刻手表论坛（例如 RWI 和 RepGeek）授予的称号。请勿与任何人公开讨论此审查或审查过程。社区模组和经销商之间的对话将保持私密。现在或将来不会要求付款。如果您为社区提供良好服务，您将继续作为列出的卖家。
The process of becoming listed as a seller
All applications are done via a ticket on the ChinaTime Discord.
To start the process:
- Join here: https://discord.gg/YSz4rFdV8z
- Send a message to Qomplete and a new ticket will be created.
- You will receive further instruction there.
- Please be patient as we work through a queue of applications.
In the application you will:
- Confirm your assets: This will include listing your website, Yupoo, WeChat, WhatsApp and others and you knowledge of the market
- Confirm process: This includes discussing what factories you work with, what quality of watches you sell, how long it takes, what postage you offer etc.
- Complete a test order: We must run through the full customer process to review how well you are able to obtain items, your quality of communication, the payment process, your shipping process and how long an item takes to arrive. We will also need to inspect the item on arrival to ensure it is the same item as QC photos. The test order will require you provide a watch without charge. There are no other fees or costs related to this process.
- The outcome: We will advise you whether you have passed or have items that need improvement and what is required to continue the application.
- Once approved: You will then be added to the Watches New Sellers list until you have made a number of successful sales within the community.
The process will take as long as it takes. Constant following up will not make processing any faster.
Once approved
- An announcement to the community will be made about your status as a New Seller
- Your information will be listed in Watches wiki
- You gain access to the ChinaTime #Showcase channel on Discord to post content (as much as you want)
- You may also receive the Verified Dealer flair on r/ChinaTime reddit
- You can sell to users on the chinatime.club website
If the community faces a number of reported issues with new sellers (i.e. actions taken by the seller that has caused issues with customs or product, the customer service process was poorly managed or there are ongoing issues with stock or communications that are not addressed) sellers may be reprimanded and taken off the list until they rectify the issues.
How QC should look for customers
Here is an example of high tier QC album: https://imgur.com/a/Zj6jI2b
It is expected that customers are able to review a watch before confirming the final sale.
Dealers decide whether they require payment before or after QC.
Recommendations for a good service
Have visual consistency across your digital assets.
Use the same name so customers can be confident they are dealing with the same seller wherever they talk to you.
Use the same logo and name on social media accounts, chat apps and in photos.
Place a sign behind your QC photos with business information. This helps both your ongoing promotion (as customers will post these images on popular forums for opinions) and reinforces your brand and business.
Join conversations in Discord and on Reddit. Customers are always wanting to know updates about news from China and watch releases.
Post regularly in the #showcase channel on Discord. This will encourage users to view your inventory and make purchases.
DO NOT post sale content on the r/chinatime Reddit. It is against Terms of Service.
DO NOT post sale ads on the ChinaTime Discord. It is against Terms of Service.
You can discuss sales in DM on Discord, or advise potential customers to contact you on WeChat or WhatsApp.
You can seek out customers on the BST forum but these are usually for peer to peer sales.
If you have any questions, talk to Qomplete.
If there is a delay in obtaining an order, advise the customer so they are not waiting with zero contact for a long duration.
Sometimes information is lost in translation. You can tell sellers you are using a translation device and ask to explain things further if you do not understand.
使您的数字资产保持视觉一致性。 使用相同的名称，这样客户就可以确信，无论他们在哪里与您交谈，他们都是在与同一个卖家打交道。 在社交媒体帐户、聊天应用程序和照片中使用相同的徽标和名称。 在您的 QC 照片后面放置一个带有商业信息的标志。这有助于您的持续促销（因为客户会在热门论坛上发布这些图像以征求意见）并强化您的品牌和业务。 加入 Discord 和 Reddit 中的对话。客户总是想了解来自中国的新闻动态并观看发布的内容。 定期在 Discord 上的 #showcase 频道中发帖。这将鼓励用户查看您的库存并进行购买。 请勿在 r/chinatime Reddit 上发布促销内容。这是违反服务条款的。 请勿在 ChinaTime Discord 上发布销售广告。这是违反服务条款的。 您可以在 Discord 上通过 DM 讨论销售情况，或建议潜在客户通过微信或 WhatsApp 与您联系。 您可以在 BST 论坛上寻找客户，但这些通常是针对点对点销售的。 如果您有任何疑问，请与 Qomplete 联系。 如果获取订单出现延迟，请告知客户，以免他们在零接触的情况下长时间等待。 有时信息会在翻译过程中丢失。您可以告诉卖家您正在使用翻译设备，如果您不明白，请要求进一步解释
