I see qoo10 and lazada but never see an ezbuy thread.

Think these 3 days no agent fees for some items.

Yeah but nobody seems to be using ezbuy in taobao thread.

What's the best way to buy from taobao these days?

Fuss free method is thru ezbuy during free agent fee and/or % or free shipping charges days.

Unless you are well verse in shipping out of China and have your own contact, ezbuy is the preferred choice.

If you can read abit of tiong and use the right search terms (the challenge) in mandarin, taobao's official forwarders like 4px/dpex are a decent choice.

Ships pretty quick with decent rates, can choose popstation collect assuming your phone or maybe telco doesn't have issues with some otp sms.

I see, just realized the item I want to buy is in Tmall instead.

Same way of buying for Tmall?

Those people should be buying in quite a few kg that's why they don't use ezbuy.Most of official forwarder should be going by actual weight unless volume is larger by certain amount e.g. 3x

If you're buying 1-2kg then ezbuy may be slightly cheaper at the expense of delivery time and self-pickup

Works the same way, its also under alibaba.

Tmall is like their "Amazon/Lazada" etailer like
Taobao sellers more like ebay/q10 style mom and pop seller

If you know how to use one, you will know how to use the other.

You sure? Ezbuy always jack up price, otherwise how r they going to justify prime shipping at $2.99. Maybe u r talking abt same item but from diff seller that's y ezbuy seems cheaper or during their flash sale. Buy quite a few during their flash sale last time,price was better comparing to taobao

Not exactly the same even though both are under the Alibaba umbrella.

TB can change the price whereas Tmall can't. Tmall are mainly for manufacturer or official retailer/agent/distributor which are under stricter control and restriction to price change for bargain hunter or waive shipping charge on multiple items purchase under the same bill from the same shop/supplier.

In TB, you can chat with the respective CSO to waive their local shipping charger for multiple items within the same bill. For example, ¥8 for item A and item B carry the same ¥8 shipping charge to the forwarder/shipping company. You can live chat with TB's seller to waive the shipping charge for item B since you are paying double the shipping charge.

There is a link in the direct that points directly to the seller in Tmall so it's the same seller with the same item.

Anyway, ezbuy is good for buying items from different places like TB, Tmall, etc rather than buying from each individual marketplace right? Maybe what I am saving on is shipping?
