@bored >being so poor you buy a $4 mechanical keyboard thinking it was real

>off alibaba

just go to gearbest or aliexpress

>wanting a razer naga clone

just buy a "gaming" LED mouse anywhere

they pretty much copy the ergonomics

Feelsbadman.

But ok I get the jist of things now

So apparently taobao ships directly to NZ and stuff, is it the official chinse taobao website?

Or is there a subsidiary website somewhere

>using taobao

please

If you're not a gamer, I guess they're probably acceptable

just use aliexpress and gearbest

I only use taobao if I can't get it on Ali

Taobao is good for reps

taobao is more for experienced buyers

why do I need experience to buy :/

especially for small goods

like a piece of chink shit

for something unique and hard to get or expensive

by all means use taobao

it makes sense

like I get replica watches and wallets off taobao

You'll need to go a through an agent, most of the time

@Deleted User That mouse looks like a transformer

And they'll charge you a fee

No free shipping either, from my experience

Oh man ok not worth lol

Taobaoring customer service is great but their prices idk

FeelsbadMan.

taobao is also great if you like to cosplay

or want unique fashion goods

because aliexpess bans the shit out of replicas

I knew enough chink to speak to taobao sellers but they tried to refer me to their own agents 😂

No friends or cosplay events in NZ

Lul

Probably wanted to chink those who live in the west

Chinese will do whatever they can to make an extra dollar
