It's good to get burned a couple of times at your age :) Can't learn to dodge a punch until you get hit by a few. But yeah...I wouldn't be counting this chicken.

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. You are an agent for Chinese factories and your mentor recommended that you not receive a deposit for your services before you do them?

I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer. I don't know what the industry standard is. I also think it depends on the company you're dealing with. If you get a deal and they don't pay the commission you can tell the buyer and then they look like assholes, so you might be fine.
