Shopping
A lot of Singaporeans love online shopping. With everything just, a click away, there are a lot of products you can shop at dirt cheap rates- especially in Taobao. It is a gigantic online portal in China with anything and everything listed.
If you are a shopaholic, then Taobao is your dream destination. Below here are some tips for those Singaporeans who cannot read Mandarin but wish to shop on Taobao:
Create a Taobao account
This wasn’t needed in the past, but now Taobao makes it mandatory for every visitor to sign up before browsing its website. Hence, you need to create an account first.
The next page will open and you can tap on the “English” button placed at the right hand corner on the top.
Just sign in with your email or username or use your mobile number. In case you have forgotten your password, you can follow the other steps.
Shop at Taobao in English
One of the major obstacle which most of us face while shopping in Taobao is language barrier. You may not be able to understand the reviews and description of items if you aren’t an expert in Mandarin, but there is a way to get around it.
If you want basic page translation, go for Google Chrome. Click on Settings, search Language and select Chinese to your language. Then tap on additional settings and click the box for offer to translate page.
Now Chrome will translate the pages opened in Mandarin. Though it will be wonky but surely you will get something instead of nothing.
You can also use Google translation and translate stuff directly. Click a picture of the text using screenshot and get it translated at the Google Translate App directly.
Check out the reviews at Taobao to ensure that the products are legitimate
This is a major part of any online shopping. One should go through the reviews of a product to know if a product is worth buying or not. If you notice complaints about a product, then do not buy it.
Take help of agent services such as Engtb.com to make your purchases simpler
If you are unable to read Mandarin, then buying from Taobao can be really challenging for you. In case any problem with your order rises, you need to liaise with the seller and most of them don’t know English.
This is why it is suggested to take the help of an agent service. All you need to do is type the product name in the search bar of engtb and you will easily get your search results for Taobao in English. You can shop for anything you want in exchange for a small agent fee and in case anything goes wrong, the agent will liaise directly with the seller and deal with the situation.
EngTB is one of the most reliable online shopping agents for Taobao. You can shop for anything fast and cheap. No matter you want to buy yourself or dropship, you can choose this site. The best thing is that it takes very good care of language barrier and lets you have a convenient shopping experience.
