Comment on How To Buy Directly From Taobao:The Complete Guide by Sharon.

Hi Eric, how do I place an order first and then pay for it later on when the seller has confirmed the shipping amount with me? (The shop I’m looking to buy items from says their shipping is only an estimate and therefore buyers should wait for seller confirmation before paying for the items and domestic postage.)
Much appreciated if you can help me out from this (because usually when I make a purchase I pay straight away~)!!

Thanks Eric, so does that mean I submit and pay for the order first and then they will refund me the additional postage that I’ve paid? Thanks, sorry for all these questions (I’ve never encountered a store like this before so I’m a bit O.o)

It’s just some cushions for my car, but the store says they do wholesale so that could be why? This is what they’ve got on their store homepage: 店铺所设的运费模板不是实际运费, 拍下后联系客服估算重量修改运费.
And I’m only wanting to buy two small ones but the domestic postage for it is like 25 yuan when I tried to check out which I thought was quite expensive when I could get bigger things shipped for less than half that price.
But here’s the shop link if it helps: https://twlight.taobao.com/?spm=2013.1.1000126.d21.jzl4uV
Thanks so much for your help!
