So, you want to buy items from sellers in China?
Let me explain some core concepts to you to get you started. At the bottom you'll find follow-up questions for further (but still concise) reading.
- First you need to find items you want to buy. The best place to start looking around is RA-TOP, a page for sales charts.
- For the item to get from China to your home country you will have to choose a shopping agent. From now on everything will go through them.
- Open an account with the agent and buy the item through the agent website.
- Have the agent ship it to you.
That's it. It's really not that hard, especially if you stick to the trusted combination Taobao/Weidian + shopping agent. The risks are low and it's always these same steps.
This is a very rough outline under the assumption you want to have it as easy and risk-free as possible.
