How to buy on Taobao from outside China

Taobao is China's largest marketplace: factory prices and huge variety. Since it doesn't ship abroad or take foreign cards, you buy with an agent.

1. Find the product

Browse our catalog by category or brand, or paste a Taobao link into the converter.

2. Convert it with your agent

Click the agent button on the listing. The link already carries the right product; no Taobao account needed.

3. Pay, QC and ship

The agent buys, checks (QC photos) and forwards it. Compare coupons and cashback across agents to pay less.

Taobao vs Weidian vs 1688

Taobao: most variety and sellers. Weidian: strong for niche reps. 1688: wholesale, cheaper but in batches. Our catalog mixes all three so you can compare.

Tip: check the seller's reviews and the QC photo dates. A seller with recent QC and good ratings is a safe bet.
