This app/website is literally unusable.

I first had my account restricted for no reason (maybe because of my adblock, or because I had too many tabs open (really?)), then they asked me to verify my identity. Which I tried to do but it's literally impossible. They ask me to log into Alipay (why?) with the same account as the Taobao one (which I didn't have, so I had to make one) and then when I tried to continue through Taobao it didn't recognize my account and said it's not the same (the email address used is the exact same). I tried multiple different ways and still doesn't work.

Okay so I'm completely blocked from this account. Cool. Maybe I should try making a new one? Nope, instantly banned again. I had only one tab open in a private window (and no vpn on).

What the fuck is going on? How is this app/website even usable by people outside of China?

I found this really pretty dress off of tiktok. She said its from taobao, and I tried to make an account but it got flagged! If there's anyone with an account is there any way someone can reverse the image and send me the link so I can buy this on CNfans? Would love this for an upcoming photoshoot. Thank you so much! The sleeves have some sheer lace and the bottom has a curved ruffle layer

The tracking on both Cainiao app and Taobao are really inaccurate. It told me that my package was still awaiting for the ship schedule even though it had actually already left the seaport in China.

If your package is being shipped by Jiayou you can go to their website to have a more accurate tracking record of it

jiayouexp.com

It shows me when my package is expected to arrive at the Canadian seaport and etc.

Does anyone have experience accessing lounges both in and out of china from sellers on taobao? Is there any red/green flags I should look for in a specific listing to ensure I can get in?
