How to Buy Directly From Taobao

For those who aren’t familiar with Taobao should know that many people have been shopping from there and have ditched the local shops now. The reason behind this is simple and that is everything comes from China. Yes, we aren’t kidding, people have been buying from taobao in truckloads and I know to some, this statement isn’t a shocker.

Why Do the People Buy From There?

There is a vast wholesale market in China and it is no surprise that the local shops around the corner of your house stocks from taobao too. We have come to know of some random clothing shops in Singapore that purchases products from there and you can shop literally the entire world there. Today, we are writing this guide to let you know how you can shop from there and whether it will be advantageous if an agent is hired for that purpose or not. The Taobao Sea has also launched now and you can directly shop from there with the use of a credit/debit card or a Visa. Taobao has expanded because we think they have realized that a big number of customers of theirs live in Southeast Asia.

Should You Buy Directly?

Now the matter at hand is, whether, you should directly be buying from Round the Clock Mall and get yourself muddled with all the rules and the laws? The answer is simple and that means that it will be cost-effective and you will be saving on the agent fees, shipping and exchange rates. The only con in our opinion is that with an agent you do not have to worry about the security of your package but when you are on your own, you have to be careful of these things yourself. If you feel more comfortable with an agent, go ahead. The overall amount may not be much dissimilar, depending on how heavy and pricey your items are.
