Buying Guide

Taobao is the largest online shopping community in China with thousands of thousands of sellers competing for your attention!

To ensure that your shopping experience will be a pleasant one, My lil'Spree is sharing with you the absolute Taobao Shopping Guide!


Buying from a Seller with good reputation:

Look at the overall ratings and accumulated ratings. Try to find sellers like this, with alot of "crowns" or "stars" as they are generally more reputated. Also to avoid disappointments when your purchase arrive, look at the "Products as illustrated" ratings.



Looking for Product Information:


In this case, the product will cost 30 (一口价) + 8 (快递) = 38rmb  
And usually the seller will include more details at the same page, you just need to scroll down. Reference for this product:
http://item.taobao.com/auction/item_detail-0db2-931bbafa0cd4ba690debc8f34d95aaf3.htm

How to Calcuate Shipping?
Using the same example as above, that product will cost 38rmb. For clothes, it will weight around 200g. So the total cost will be around: 38/4.5 + (0.2*10) *1.09 = $11.38
