Hi Eric,

Did you notice that Taobao changed their website to redirect to “item.taobao.com” for everything? There is simply no way to get back to “world.taobao.com” to make orders for international.

I may have figured out how to make an order with the new Taobao, but it’s different since you select your official cargo at the payment settlement page now.

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

Hi again Eric,

Something strange happened now after my order was rejected by the warehouse. I can no longer choose CSCL from the drop down menu in the products page, but I can choose it when I click “buy now”.

Any reason why that would happen?

Hi Eric. I followed your suggestion and asked the seller to ship in smaller box.
I don’t know why JCEX didn’t message me on Ali to tell me they rejected.

It was photography backdrops shipped in pieces. It was probably in a round tube about 2ft (60cm) long. Maybe even less. I don’t think it could’ve been too heavy.

I should’ve ask the seller the size of the package before he shipped?

Hey Eric, how can I get a hold of Zhongshan courier? When I click on the links on your tutorial, they don’t work.

The Aliwang link says I haven’t installed Aliwang, but I have. The online chat link just takes me to artificial chat.


Comment on How to Return the Goods from Warehouse to Taobao Seller?

I do have a question. The warehouse shipped it back to the seller using δΈ­ε±±ι€Ÿι€’ but I cannot find the logistics company in the drop down menu to confirm the return. Which one would it be?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

I successfully started a refund and got a return address from the seller. Now I am trying to fill out the return shipping address form, but it keeps saying “Submit Order Failed”. What am I doing wrong?

This is pretty much impossible unless you reside or are visiting China and have a Chinese passport. πŸ™
Makes receiving refunds after-the-sale very difficult. I will never get my money back from the warehouse’s mistake.
