Where to Shop: A Look at China’s Top E-Commerce Platforms
To find the best products, you need to know where to look. Each of China’s major platforms serves a different purpose. Understanding them is the first step to becoming a savvy international shopper.
Taobao (淘宝)
Think of it as: The world’s largest marketplace, a combination of eBay and Amazon, but on a colossal scale.
Best for: Individual shoppers, unique and trendy items, fashion, accessories, and hobby goods.
Sophia’s Tip: “Use Taobao’s image search! If you see a product you like online, upload a picture to find the original item or similar ones at a fraction of the price.”
Tmall (天猫)
Think of it as: A high-end online mall for official brands.
Best for: Brand-conscious buyers. Tmall hosts official storefronts for thousands of brands, guaranteeing authenticity.
Sophia’s Tip: “Keep an eye out for major sales events like Singles’ Day (11.11), when Tmall brands offer their biggest discounts of the year.”
1688.com
Think of it as: The wholesale source for most Taobao sellers.
Best for: Bulk purchases and business sourcing. Prices on 1688 are often the lowest you can find, with minimum orders as low as 2-3 pieces.
Sophia’s Tip: “If you plan to buy multiple units of an item, always check 1688 first. The savings can be enormous, perfect for group buys or small businesses.”
