This dual approach allows you to compare offerings, validate supplier credibility across platforms, and negotiate better terms with suppliers.                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-card-2 \">\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"accordion-header\">                                        <button class=\"accordion-button\">\r\n                                            What are the minimum order quantities (MOQ) differences between Alibaba and GlobalSources?                                        <\/button>\r\n                                        <span class=\"plus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <path d=\"M20 13.2852V27.2852M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#182230\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <span class=\"minus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_305_7058)\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#AD1225\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                                <\/g>\r\n                                                <defs>\r\n                                                    <clipPath id=\"clip0_305_7058\">\r\n                                                        <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(8 8.28516)\" \/>\r\n                                                    <\/clipPath>\r\n                                                <\/defs>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <\/h3>                                        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" style=\"display:none\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                                A: GlobalSources suppliers typically have higher MOQs (minimum order quantities) than Alibaba. Alibaba features more suppliers willing to accommodate smaller orders, sometimes as low as 10-50 units.
