It can be said that consumers have almost no risk when buying from Taobao. For foreign buyers, the biggest difficulty in using Taobao is the language barrier. Taobao only has a Chinese interface. So many people choose to hire Taobao agents to purchase from China.

Is it safe to buy from Taobao? Overall Taobao is safe. However, there are risks involved in any online transaction. And there are hundreds of thousands of merchants on Taobao, who have different reputation statuses and different reviews for the items they sell.

On Taobao's homepage, look for “shipping address” near the left sidebar. Click on it and add your own address, then save. Since Taobao has your address now, the next step is to fill your cart with the products you want to buy. Once you're ready to checkout, Taobao will now take you to the payment page.
