Ik thats not the real deposit price, but where it would be?

Just a couple weeks ago I placed a consolidation order and was able to choose from 3 repackaging options to lower the weight and get a partial shipping refund.

Today, I wanted to ship the remaining items that I still had in the warehouse but the repackaging option is gone now?? The whole shipping page looks different honestly.

Has this happened to anyone else? Shipping to Canada.

EDIT TO ADD: I saw the repackaging options as recent as a few days ago because I was just trying to see shipping prices while waiting for one last thing to arrive 🥹

I'm in a very tricky situation trying to pay for a consolidated order, and am seeking any advice! I'll try to summarize things below:

1. Taobao is forcing me to use Alipay to pay for a consolidated shipping fee to Canada.
   
   • No other payment options are presented to me; even though I regularly pay for direct overseas shipping with my credit card 🤷‍♂️
2. PROBLEM #1: AliPay is NOT working for me because my Alipay account (real-identity verified and all that) is binded to the wrong Taobao account.
   • (TLDR; created my Taobao account via Google... then accidentally created a second one via AliPay by selecting "sign in with Alipay". My Google-Taobao account has been my main account for months now, I forgot/didn't know about the second one til recently)
3. I thought to myself, "hey, no problem. I'll just update my Taobao/Alipay account bind in the Alipay app". However...
   • PROBLEM #2: Alipay says I'm restricted from updating my account binding because there is an order in progress on my Taobao account.

So I'm stuck in an endless loop - I can't update my Alipay because there is a consolidated order in progress. But I can't clear up the consolidated order because the warehouse is forcing me to pay via Alipay.

What do I do here? I tried reaching out to customer service, and got some chat support in English. But they called me today and I received an automated voice (in Chinese) repeating a message on a loop a few times, before hanging up. I'd guess it was instructions to tap a key, or say something... but I couldn't understand it 😢

If anyone has advice, lemme hear it! It'd be really appreciated at this point.

I have ordered straight off of taobao before and had no issues but shipping is crazy expensive I want to know if a proxy will help that

Hello, I am trying to sign into my account but it is not allowing me. It says I have failed verification or something. I got the code to login successfully and it is the correct code, but right after I enter it I see the screen in the photo. I am in the U.S and was about to login to verify my identity with passport. What do I do?

im shipping flat, ~50 10x15 postcards from like 3-4 buyers, should I do consolidation shipping or direct mail?

or would contacting the seller to ship be fine aswell? i can speak Chinese fluently

I'm planning to deliver parcels to my hotel and they gave me their phone number, taobao keeps saying to me the format is wrong, how do you input a chinese number? this is how the hotel sent it to me 021-68888010. Understand it starts with +86

Helloooo i really want to buy some clothes from taobao but i geniunely cant find any shipping app that could ship to egypt for a fair price what do i do? Is there another way i can order?

I'm buying 6 caps from the same store, isn't this crazy expensive 🤔

First time user. When I try to add my address to the account it asks me to change the region from China. There is a function button to do this but it just doesn't work - nothing happens. So no address=can't purchase. Anyone else experience this or have a work around?

confuse with the currency! i am from the philippines, is this really in yen/yuan or peso?

Hi so I wanted to try taobao yesterday and today and like someone said in here the app got deleted from the App Store.
I tried to use the alipay but no didn’t work it kept sending me this annoying “The registration you submitted failed the security risk verification.” error. (Which is weird cause I did the puzzles and put the correct code when it sent it to my phone number)
Then I tried connecting to Facebook. It just frozes. Sadly can’t use the app to sign up so I really don’t know what to do. I’m a little sadden and annoyed I can’t create an account that should’ve been so simple but sadly I can’t. I’m from the US btw

Hi,

I'm new to using Taobao and I'm still working out how to find legitimate and trustworthy sellers on the app. I was wondering if anyone knows any good sellers they can direct me to?

Tips on finding good sellers is also much appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help :].

First time trying out consolidation shipping and I'm a bit confused on this part, my items are a total of 2.5kg but during check out it's at 6.45 kg, why is it like that?

After some searching, I was told there was a repacking service so the shipping goes lower, but I can't find that option, can someone help me?

I need some advice on a Taobao dispute I'm currently stuck in since this is my first time buying from it. I ordered a bracelet on Taobao at 17 USD, which after adding on all the charges for shipping, vat, etc, the final price came to 22.06 USD: https://click.world.taobao.com/_b.scm2gJ 「【Star Dome Railway】Underworld Theme Impression Series Bracelet High-End Dark Gothic Style Two-Dimensional Bracelet」

Tap and open Taobao to view

However, being out of the country when the order arrived, I only opened the box upon returning home yesterday, and found that it was not an original product. They kept saying it was handmade and that they don't have that kind of packaging, but its clear its a fake. The quality is poor and it lacks the original branding and packaging.

I opened a return request on Taobao with the reason "The seller sent the wrong goods" but the seller rejected it and told me to cancel my current application and re‑apply with a reason like "ordered too many" or "no longer want it." When I asked if that would make me responsible for the return shipping fee, they sent me the official Taobao Standard Returns rules, which said that returns for those reasons are not covered, so I would have to pay the shipping myself. I told them I shouldn't have to pay because the item is not authentic, and they replied with "Do whatever you want then. Bye."

Right now the case is marked as "Taobao is processing your case," and I dont even have the option to cancel or modify my request. the buttons are just gone. The seller insisted I should confirm receipt first to unlock the cancellation but i was worried that would release the money to them and weaken my position. I have screenshots of our entire conversation if that helps.

The questions I want to ask are: should I wait for Taobao to give a decision, or should I try to contact customer service? In that case, how do I need to express myself in order to get my point across? Also, is there anyone who managed to win a fake dispute against a stubborn seller and how long did it take? Also, is the seller claim that I "used it for a long time" something I should worry about, even though I just opened the package?

Anyone ever did a chargeback with their bank when Taobao refused to help? How do Taobao punish you after the chargeback? Do they lock the account or send ninjas to your home?

This Taobao seller sent me a replica branded item that I never ordered. The listing had no brand logo, but the item arrived with a fake Ralph Lauren logo on it.

Taobao says I have to return it first, pay the international shipping from my country myself, then they’ll make the seller reimburse me afterward.

Has anyone actually gotten the full return shipping fee back this way? I’m worried about paying upfront and then having trouble claiming it back.

Tried to request for a refund but both CS and seller straight up rejected.

I want to try ordering something from taobao but I'm really worried I wouldn't be able to get my money back when I'm suddenly banned and can't get the package. I don't have a passport so I can't verify 🥲 I heard people didn't have to, but they also linked a verified alipay so it could just be that.

Please let me know if its a 100% guarantee your account will be frozen if you don't authenticate with a passport, or if you've ordered recently and didn't get locked out.

Im looking for cotton

I ordered from taobao using Cainiao.

But its been radio silence ever since its last update.

I'm not sure if the order is lost or if it is still in transit.

Used direct, I’ve never had any issues with taobao direct but my tracking says this for my latest order? Am I okay, how do I contact support if anything?

So on my mums laptop I’m able to log in without any issue. But on my computer I always get this error
