How I use TaoBao to buy clothes, wigs, shoes and more

[@arilaurel6212]

This was massively helpful, thank you so much! I just made my first purchase on Taobao. It's not intuitive for a western customer, but definitely getting used to it!!

[@Wellitsjustus]

you’re doing the lords work

[@TeenyTinkers]

😂

[@BJD333]

Thank you posting this gem of knowledge! I will be busting out my laptop later to use that. I had such difficulty with the app version 😭 You walking through the whole process really takes the stress and worry out of it. Can't wait for your next video!

[@TeenyTinkers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dollhousie]

Thank you so much for this video! I have never used taobao since it seemed so daunting. I always thought you HAD to go through an agent to buy from there. This video was so useful!

[@TeenyTinkers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bonzwaygo]

as a lolita i use taobao a but ive never known what bjd shops were good to order from! i would love a community list of good shops to buy from!

[@TeenyTinkers]

OH I'll add this to my ideas list!

[@zellygraywords8980]

Thank you so much for this! Will definitely have to window shop once my doll fund opens up and I will definitely refer back to this video once that happens. My babies need some new threads! lol *huggles* Zelly

[@TeenyTinkers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xLayoox]

thank you so much!! this helped me a lot, i was worried I had to pay for more! Please do an updated video of this since some things did changes, there is like new shipment options and I want know what they do.

[@TeenyTinkers]

I can't use taobao anymore 😭

[@LoveLoveStrong]

Most helpful taobao video!

[@TeenyTinkers]

Glad to hear that!

[@celmalex1]

I love your videos! What agent do you recommend for a fellow Canadian. Are any dolls on taobao real?

[@TeenyTinkers]

I havent tried an agent yet, but taobao officially wont let me pay shipping without a chinese bank account now, so i guess i will need to find an agent!

[@madinamaryam6786]

When I first ordered from taobao I tested by ordering $1.00 tape. And I didn’t know that they are going to ask for shipping after order delivered to the cargo warehouse. And they asked for shipping to the USA CA $14.00. I was confused and didn’t pay for that and I just wasted $1.00 for nothing. And Im not gonna regret because that was just test.

[@TeenyTinkers]

Smart!

[@cuppycakey5013]

I wasn’t able to login. I did what you showed but didn’t see where I could choose my password, so I clicked on forgot password and reset it. I went to login and it said my account was frozen. So back to aliexpress I go. 😅

[@TeenyTinkers]

Unfortunately someone told me a vpn can help (I already had one) because North American ip addresses can be barred from signing up? I’m not entirely sure though

[@SuperWolfGamerYT]

Fo you that are to scared to use I use temu alot and it hasn’t rlly disappointed me at all has alot of Asian fashion (stores) and stuff u may like

[@TeenyTinkers]

ive never purchased from temu myself! but Ive used aliexpress a bunch

[@DAWGZ55555]

so when it shows the first final price to ship to the warehouse and pay for the item do i have to pay again to have it shipped to me?

[@TeenyTinkers]

Typically

[@cha7705]

hello, just askin i wanna buy shoes in taobao, but i cant find a place to note the size of the shoes. do anyone happen to know where i can attach the info abt the size?

[@TeenyTinkers]

Im not sure, you may need to message the shop owner

[@kingsvacation5203]

I spent heaps on taobao and now im stuck in the shipping steps any tips they say my stuff keeps getting rejected by warehouse.

[@TeenyTinkers]

Oh no! You may need to reach out to customer service

[@teateagirl97]

I log in, but it is asking me to put in my name and Id. Did you have to go through this step ?

[@TeenyTinkers]

It’s basically not let me purchase for a few months now

[@elenajoel6794]

Can the worldwide region stuff work in china too?

[@TeenyTinkers]

I’m not sure! This vid is older and taobao doesn’t let me pay for shipping anymore 😭

[@Candyz112]

When I try to pay for my order, it always says there’s a system error. Has this happened to you?

[@TeenyTinkers]

They don’t let me pay for shipping anymore and I can’t use it any more

[@Candyz112]

@@TeenyTinkers Aw, I see. I ended up using superbuy for my order. I like that they send you pictures of the product when it arrives at their warehouse, and they can do a return or exchange for you if you’re not satisfied with it!

[@stefistefi6069]

so there is no direct shipping?

[@TeenyTinkers]

Nope and they won’t let me pay for shipping anymore

[@Echoechostar]

Thank you for making this! It is so helpful 🥺❤️ this website is so confusing lol I actually made a purchase and waited for all the items to go to the warehouse so that I could pay the international shipping fee with that one click package button, but I just checked my account and it says all items are at customs now… I didn’t pay the international shipping fee what is happening 😂😂😂 did they just ship it without me paying it??? So many questions lololol

[@TeenyTinkers]

Its maybe at the warehouse? I would reach out to support through the chat!

[@Echoechostar]

@@TeenyTinkers the tracking says it has already departed on the plane to the US now! 🤔🤔🤔 idk what happened and why I didn’t have to pay the consolidation fee but I will not question it 🤣

[@lauraleecreations3217]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TeenyTinkers]

[@AnaLopez-zz8rk]

They won’t ship to the US either or just Canada ? Such a weird site

[@TeenyTinkers]

Yeah thats a new moment.

[@Rossyscollection]

is impossible for me to login on taobao

[@TeenyTinkers]

Its really difficult, and using a VPN might help, but they seem to flag new accounts a lot.

[@cherrychaewon332]

Hey! i encountered your video now because im over the Agents, i bought some packages with Pandabuy that were 7$ to 9$ but the shipping fee they wanted to charge me was 40$ - 60$, which is crazy, has there been any changes in terms of shipping since you uploaded this video a year ago? because from what i can see the shipping cost i very cheap if i just order from Taobao

[@TeenyTinkers]

They won’t ship to me anymore without paying for shipping separately from a Chinese bank account

[@cherrychaewon332]

@@TeenyTinkers happened the same to me now, have you gotten a way to pay for the international shipping? i’m still stuck

[@htsunmiku]

So from the comments, i can't really tell if it's worth it to stop using an agent?😭 If anything maybe i should change to a forwarding address? Taobao consolidates your items and then ask for shipping. So basically what agents like superbuy do? Expect SB can help with talking to sellers etc Also SB can help with secondhand items from xianyu. Which is a really good way to buy dolls for cheaper or find "rare" dolls.

[@TeenyTinkers]

i havent been able to buy directly from, TaoBao in a while, sadly.

Nice video! 🔥🔥🔥 Curious if you've got a spreadsheet for TaoBao fashion reps handy? I'm all about organizing my fashion SpreadSheet finds, especially for the ladies. Let's share info! Thanks a ton!

[@TeenyTinkers]

I dont, I cant use taobao anymore, as they wont ship to me.
