I must note however that my receipt from the Post Office looks a little different to the one on this page and the one shown in the above example. The number that I entered was the first printed set of numbers on the receipt.

I’ve been working through this all afternoon and still have some issues to sort out before it will work. First of all, I was able to get the slip and fill it out and pay the money and enter a pin code all at the post office. No problem. When I clicked on the button (on the homepage of this website) to recharge my account, it took me to a different page than what this tutorial is showing. Working with Google Translate, I thought it was telling me I needed to bind my TaoBao account to my PayPal account, but after much frustration, I figured out that it was mis-translating PayPal. What the website meant was AliPay, not Paypal. So I “bound” (their words) my TaoBao account to a new AliPay account that I created, and then I was able to move on to the next step in this tutorial. Then, however, I ran into a problem trying to enter my six-digit pin number. It said I needed to install a security plug-in. So I clicked the link for the Safari plug-in (I’m running a MacBook Pro) and installed it as directed (all using Google Translate). It seems to have been a successful install, but when I get to the step where I am to enter the pin number, it still says I’m missing the plug in. Frustrated, but hoping someone here might have a tip or two to help me on my way.

Thanks!
