To Exodus:
Are you from america? I had to call aliwangwang. And they said they don’t accept american visa or mastercards. Visa and Mastercards must be from china/hong kong/taiwan/macau. I hope this helps!

I am based in Malaysia and does not have a China credit card.

Is it still possible to purchase via Taobao?

The items look cheap.

Is there a way to get reasonable shipping fee quotes?

Taobao calculates the shipping cost on a per item base. For example
i buy one coffee cup and Taobao quotes 1x Cup = 5RMB + 1x Shipping = 10RMB together 15RMB. When i want to buy 20 cups it quotes 20x Cup = 100RMB + 20x Shipping = 200RMB for a total of 300RMB. Sending 20 cups costs about the same as sending one cup, so how can I get Taobao/the shop to calculate the cups as one packet and not 20 ?

I have lived in China before and am going back there to do a flight transfer to Thailand, and I am staying in the Beijing airport for approx 10 hours.

They do have China Post there, so I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea to put some money into my Taobao account then, and order the stuff to Thailand instead? Do the Taobao sellers provide international shipping, and how do I ask for it?

Thanks alot for your help!
