ULTIMATE GUIDE: BUYING DIRECTLY FROM TAOBAO
If you plan on living in China for an extended period of time, using Taobao and Tmall, the
country’s two biggest online shopping sites, is well worth the effort. Unfortunately, there’s no English
version, so if you can’t read Chinese, then the sites can be a bit
daunting – even with Google Translate. That’s why GiC has
decided to make this English-language tutorial on how to use
Taobao and Tmall.
Before getting started, you’ll need a Chinese phone number, a
credit card (Visa, Mastercard, PCB, or PPS for foreign cards),
email address, and a Chinese mailing address. Alternatively, you
can go to local post offices to buy Taobao recharge cards, but
this article will focus on using credit cards. The screenshots in
this guide will all be in Chinese, but we highly recommend you
use Google Chrome’s built-in web page translation to make
your life a bit easier.
