Taobao

Every one knows that China manufactured almost 95% of everything...  so, of course it is very natural to buy things from China.  However, Internet shopping can be very different from Amazon or Ebay from US.  Taobao is one of the best shopping site that I go to.  Especially when I needed to buy iPad related stuffs.  i.e. cover, 3G card cutter, etc etc.  The price is really very cheap.  It is like buying wholesale price.  But there is no way to pay them.

Fortunately there are these third party companies that become the middle man.  Help people like me to buy stuff from China TaoBao and they will collect money, earn that 2% commission, and then order the stuff for me from Taobao and sent the stuff to me.  Great site, great service.

1.  Surf Internet Shopping site such as Taobao.com.

2.  Find the product you want to purchase.  Copy the URL link.

3.  Go to YoyBuy.com, create a new order, and add new item to purchase.  Don't forget to instruct them what color, what size, etc.

4.  Next day, YoyBuy.com sales agent will email you (make sure to check your Junk Mail folder) and then ask you to verify the items to buy.

5.  Once you verify, you can select to pay them by Paypal or DBS Internet bank transfer.

6.  Once that is done, you wait.  They will place order and then receive those packages.  and they will estimate shipping fee, and request you to pay those.

7.  Waala... you get your merchandises on the next couple of days.

Sweet & Easy!  Recommend to use DBS to pay, as it does not collect any more charges.  Using Paypal, you need to pay 4% to Paypal.
