Hello fellow sff members
I'm writing this guide to help everybody get cheap, unique, and quality product from the Chinese online market taobao.com.
This is one of the easiest ways to purchase items on Taobao, but it comes with some downside. This guide will only apply to none DIY products, which means if there is some detailed information you need to discuss with the seller, this method won't work!
Okay, first, let us talk about what is Taobao. According to Wikipedia, Taobao (simplified Chinese: 淘宝网; traditional Chinese: 淘寶網; pinyin: Táobǎo Wǎng; literally: "searching for treasure network") is a Chinese online shopping website similar to eBay, Amazon[3] and Rakuten that is operated in Hangzhou, Zhejiang by Alibaba Group.
You can find almost anything you need on Taobao with a really low price. But shopping on Taobao without the knowledge of Chinese and without any RMB(the Chinese currency) is really a pain in the ass. That's why I have to introduce you to another great website, Superbuy.com
Superbuy is a website that provides a one-stop Shopping Agent service to purchase Chinese products for global users. Superbuy monitors the entire process from purchasing, quality inspection, storage, delivery, and after-sales.
With Superbuy, you can:
Now let's get into the tutorial!
First, you have to register an account on Superbuy.com. I suggest using my referral link, with this link you can get a total of 188RMB(about 30$) coupons after registering (and I can get 30RMB as well )
After registering, you can start buying stuff! You have three choices to do so:
After talking about shopping, let us talk about shipping!
Every item you purchase using Superbuy will be store in your own warehouse, located on the right top corner, under your username. I'm using my own account to demonstrate this so I'm blurring out the information:
Here you can see all the items in your warehouse and you can choose which one you want to ship. You can check all the shipping service/fee/features in this link
After you send out your package, you can check their status by clicking the My Parcel tab under your username
You can write review after you receive your package and they will give you 500 points which are equivalent to 5RMB .
Hope you find this tutorial helpful. If you have any question, feel free to comment down below. I will update common FAQ in this thread as well!

After registering, you can start buying stuff! You have three choices to do so:
- If you know the exact taobao.com item page, you can simply copy the Taobao url into the 'Shopping Agent' menu and whola! I'm using the Turemetal TP240 as an example here:
-
- If you do not know the link for the product, you can simply type in the product name into the Shopping Agent tab, and click search. The search result might not be accurate this way:
-
-
- yep, not accurate at all lol
-
- Then the third method, for all the lazy people out there that do not want to do research and also can't find the product you want by typing the name: The Expert Service!
- You can click that 'Try our Expert Service' link if you can't find the product you want by typing the name, or you can just go to this link
-
- Choose a category, type in the product name, some description and upload the image, you are good to go!
-
-
- Now wait! They will respond you in less than 24 hours
