Taobao which can be translated to “precious” is one of the largest C2C
e-commerce platforms in the world!

Up to now Taobao has more than 120 million registered users with a daily turnover of 500 million Yuan ($73.12 million), according to a report in the Shanghai Daily from May 2009.

The fact that it targets the Chinese market and there’s a huge competition between the shops makes it the cheapest E-commerce platform in the World!

Look behind your watch, TV, Mp3 or Iphone, most of the products being made today are "Made in China".
It's all produced here, being sold to exporters who pass it on to big distributers which contact some local distributer who spend some large amount on advertizing and end up at your local shop…
Now that's a long way! Think of the number of hands its been through and how many took their profit from it.

Wouldn't you want to cut all that and be able to buy from the source?

So you like the idea of buying products from a first hand, and save more than 60% of the local cost.
Great, but how to do that?

Well, it’s easy! You just need to have the following criterions:

• Have a local Chinese bank account + internet bank capabilities.
