I see some frenzy when a site has a password to see it.
By all means investigate, but let me give you some info before you dig.
I saw a thread that I can't find now about some connections to shipping and a "cheap plastic crap" company. Novelties and toys. Some balls if I remember. (CTN stands for Carton BTW. This was a lot of balls)
The person was convinced something was afoot because this business has a password and won't let you see what they sell.
Like I said, maybe, but this is standard.
I was a buyer at a pretty big store and I would not buy from a non password protected site if I could help it.
What they are hiding is wholesale prices. Prices that are sometimes so low that if regular customers saw them it would make them mad at the retail establishment.
If a wholesale place shows everyone their prices you can be damn sure that you can buy it cheaper somewhere else.
Now for investigating a place... try to find something that this company does NOT carry. https://m.alibaba.com/
Start with hammers and work your way up to life size, internally heated, sex dolls.
For a company called Alibaba, it's weird that you'll need to know Mandarin to get very far up the ladder.

Also, Alibaba donated to the Clinton Foundation. There is a direct connection. Can't find any evidence that eBay did the same.

Quick search found two sites that said they and it's founder did -

Well, that is interesting. Thank you.

I think anyone who donated to them is suspect, but foreign companies are more questionable because of the implied gains to be made in foreign policy, in general, and a world wide child trafficking network in particular.
I could be way off here, but this whole investigation started because of some pictures and some emails. Look under every stone.
