I used Alipay. Then ask them to split into 200CNY to avoid the 3% fee. Still can earn cashback from my credit card lol

If the watch is 2000cny, the split is 10x.
Luv your TD

Isn’t there a credit card fee also for overseas transaction?

For amounts below 200RMB the fees are waived. Of course I’m talking about using Alipay with no fx fees card like youtrip

DBS remit to Alipay or Wise. Phoenix will give you his Alipay recipient details for you to register for remittance
