My name is Manuel and I was born in Austria in a little town called Melk. For me Asia and its perks always fascinated me since I can remember. I remember watching Bruce Lee & Chinese movies as a kid and was hooked right away. My professional career started in 1998 when I worked for Austria's biggest DIY retailer (bauMax). I moved to Hong Kong in 2005 when I was offered a position as an intern to work for one of the biggest Sourcing Offices in Hong Kong with a staff over 200 people.
For more than 10 years I worked with the biggest retailers in the world on developing, sourcing and finding new products for them.
These retailers included: Metro, Rewe, OBI, Carrefour, Tesco, WalMart, Amazon, Auchan, Lowes, Sears, Homedepot and many others.
As you can imagine the big retailers expect their products to be more than just conform to standards and regulations when they purchase them in Asia. They need to be at the highest standard and quality. These retailers cannot afford to have a product re-call due to quality problems or defective components. These products need to be top-notch.
In those 10 years I got to know all the standards and product requirements there are and additionally gained a lot of experience and insight working with factories in China.

There's a huge amount of information here. As a newcomer to ecommerce, I can't tell if I'm learning useful information or not. It's hard to digest it all.
By Omar on 3/15/2017
Course module was great, however the presentation was one of the poorest demonstration i went through. specially dynamic flashy bubble background all the time distract me and video playback and audio playback were also very poor quality. So I was not able to concentrate on course information as instructor Manuel was presenting for his teaching, though his introductory presentation was great. Due to distributive and poor presentation of this course did not deliver my expectation though course contain was excellent. Thansk

The information is not selected and organized well. Not enough examples and brief stories from the experience of author. Some things are unclear - f.ex. is it make sense to start this activity if I live in third country?
By Andrew Turpin on 9/19/2016
This guy really knows his stuff and is a good compliment to some of the other FBA business courses out there which focus on the Amazon website and product side of things. Particularly useful is that is for US and international sellers (which is great when you're from the UK like me). I also found him very easy to listen to and understand- very soothing voice- which was good because starting out is actually quite scary! I will definitely be doing the pro guide next.

Great course with a lot of content! There are however a lot of documents to read through instead of a "live" presentation. Also, the topics sometimes seem a bit all over the place. I have however also taken the course with a practical example where you really do go through the process step by step. When you add the two courses up, you get a magnificent course! Looking forward to seeing what Manuel tells in the advanced course!

Manuel does a good job of walking his students through the import process step by step. It is clear that he has been through the process many times, and I appreciate the supplemental materials he provides to make sure everything he teaches is well understood. He is more detailed and comprehensive than a few of the other importing from China courses on Udemy, and his course is well worth the purchase price.
By Erum Bhutto on 4/26/2016
Manuel is the real deal! I am so tempted to keep him a secret except it won't be fair on him, because he so deserves to be 'known', and it will also not be fair on those, like me, who really need his help and would benefit immensely. So, with a deep sigh, I have to let go of my secret! Don't bother with the other Alibaba Sourcing courses on Udemy. Just take the courses by Manuel Becvar. You will have no regrets and would not have squandered your money esp. if you have little to begin with.
By Revonda Lowery on 3/25/2016
This course is simply fantastic!! Manuel provides a step-by-step method that just about anyone should be able to follow. You can tell by going through the course that he has the knowledge and background of a true importer. Not only does he provide necessary information for helping you to become successful but he is very adept at pointing out issues or problems that can keep you from making costly mistakes. I appreciate that he shares checklists, pdf's of all the lessons, and videos to enhance our learning experience.....can't wait to start his next course dealing with the professional guide......Thanks a lot!!
By Eva M Faile on 11/28/2015
Considering my first direct import, I give this course a 5 star rating - It directly demystifies things that keep holding me back...such as fear factors I have around suppliers taking my money, how to know what import tax could add, shipping costs and getting 'stuck' in customs because of some errors. There is more to learn and I will be looking at his more advanced course - but this was time and money well spent to get a foot hold on the overall process. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
By Roger Heiber on 7/28/2015
Just as your professional guide to importing (which I strangely took first) this course is also truly excellent! I felt that just your supporting documents and FREE eBook on FBA/Amazon was already worth purchasing the course. I feel the importing part is the essential key if you want to work on Amazon’s FBA program. Studying your course gave me the push to start contacting suppliers right away. Thanks so much and looking forward to more material in the future!
