Has anybody used alibaba.com for purchasing parts? I've been poking around the site and chatting with several suppliers. Most of the suppliers are confirmed and protected by escrow transactions. Is this safe?
 
Isn't alibaba like business-to-business, you have to buy 1,000 pieces lot or something?

Yes, I think it worth it.
