How To Buy On Taobao

Taobao is China's largest retailer. The good side is that the products sold on site are very cheap; therefore, buying them saves a lot of money. If you are planning to shop on site you should first make sure you learn to search Taobao in English.

This is because Taobao is Chinese; therefore, if you do not understand Chinese you will not be able to read the information on the site.

To search the site in English you need to download Google Chrome which is a Google browser. After doing this you must use a browser to access the Taobao website. When you visit the site a toolbar will appear asking you if you want to translate the page. You must accept the translation of the page.

While you will be able to search the site in English, you will encounter signs that you do not know what they mean. For example you will meet shops representing crowns, diamonds, and hearts. These symbols represent the number of jobs the seller has.

Crown merchants have the highest number of jobs followed by those with diamonds, and those with hearts have the lowest number of jobs.

When buying, you should make sure that you are buying from sellers with crowns or diamonds as they are considered to have a good reputation. When buying from sellers of diamonds, you should make sure they have more than three diamonds.

It is common to find different stores with similar images that can be confusing. The reason for this is because many shopkeepers do not bother to take pictures of items for sale and prefer to use pictures of other people. To find the best store you should read the reviews.

Once you find a product you are interested in, you cannot buy it unless you have a Chinese bank. If you are an international buyer and do not know anyone in china who can help you with your purchase, you need to use a Taobao agent.

A Taoboa agent is an average person who buys items on your behalf and sends them to you. When you get things you pay a commission. The commission charged depends on the agent; However, it is usually between 8% and 10% of the purchase cost.

To trade without problems you have to make sure you do your research and work with a trained agent who will not tear you apart.
