I recently returned from Amoy (Xiamen), which I hadn't been to in almost 1.5 years. Being close to Hong Kong, most electronics were sourced directly from the U.S. Many people thought that Hong Kong versions were cheaper, but in reality, the U.S. is the cheapest place to buy. Hong Kong is just a tax-free port for transshipment. So, if you want the best deals, head to Aunt Zhang’s Hai Tao Xiaobai. How do they find the cheapest options? It's all about knowing where to look and who to trust. Some people are always ahead of the curve, while others just follow the crowd and end up envious.
Haitao, or cross-border shopping, is pretty straightforward. If you're new to it, there's a lot to learn. From website translation to credit card usage, time zone differences, customs, and shipping methods, it can be overwhelming at first. But once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier.
For newcomers, here are some tips: Learn how to translate websites, use credit cards, manage time zones, handle customs duties, and speed up delivery times. There are many different ways to shop online, so it's important to choose what suits your needs best.
For example, Japan is great for baby products like diapers and bottles, while Meiya is ideal for electronics. Australia and Germany are popular for milk powder, and the U.S. and Asia have a huge selection. The U.S. market is particularly strong, with sites like JD.com offering high-quality after-sales service and support for UnionPay. However, don’t expect it to be cheap—it’s often more expensive than other options.
If you're looking for a reliable platform, I highly recommend eBay. Think of it as the U.S. version of Taobao. You'll find both big sellers and small ones. Big sellers usually have thousands of positive reviews, a gold medal logo, and high credit scores. Small sellers might have fewer reviews, but you can check their registration date. If a seller has been around for years and has good ratings, they’re likely trustworthy. Be cautious of those with zero reviews or suspicious listings—like a brand-new iPhone X being sold for $500. Use your common sense.
When searching on eBay, start by entering a U.S. shipping address. It makes things clearer. There are three main types of purchases: “Buy It Now,†auctions, and “Make Offer.†“Buy It Now†is the most straightforward. Auctions can be tricky because the final price isn’t always clear. For example, an iPhone X listed at $100 might still have two days left in the auction, so don’t assume it’s a deal.
When buying electronics, pay attention to the condition. New items are always best, followed by “new other†(out-of-box), manufacturer-refurbished, and then seller-refurbished. Used items require careful inspection. In the U.S., used goods are often in good condition, sometimes even better than new. I once bought a refurbished iPad Pro with a charging issue. After contacting the seller, I got a full refund and even received a $380 compensation. That’s the kind of service you can expect.
If you're looking for a bargain, try making an offer. Sellers often accept reasonable offers. But don’t overdo it—eBay protects both buyers and sellers. If you back out of a deal, you may be blacklisted. Always follow the rules when shopping in the U.S.
Communication is key. Don’t hesitate to chat with sellers, even late at night. They usually respond quickly. Bargaining is normal, and Americans often use simple phrases repeatedly. Just be polite and respectful.
For payments, eBay works with PayPal, similar to how Taobao works with Alipay. It supports UnionPay, Visa, and MasterCard. When paying, make sure the currency is set to USD to avoid extra fees. Otherwise, you might end up paying in RMB with additional charges.
Before communicating with U.S. sellers, change your account location to the U.S. Otherwise, they might refuse to ship to China or cancel the order without reason. Even though eBay doesn’t block international shipments, sellers have the right to decline orders.
Finally, I’m tired, but I hope this guide helps. Feel free to leave feedback, and I’ll update you with more tips soon.
In the last half-year, JD.com sold over 1,200 Marvel voice robots, starting from 350 units. These robots are visually appealing and very eye-catching. They have strong language recognition capabilities, thanks to their large database. Overall, they’re a great value for money, with solid build quality and a silicone-like material that’s odorless.
Sony WH-1000XM4 is a game-changer. Priced at $840 in the U.S., it dropped to $1,499 during Double 11, but I didn’t care—I was already happy with my purchase.
I bought an iPad mini 2 on eBay, and although it had a minor issue, the seller offered a full refund. The battery life wasn’t great, but it ran iOS 9 smoothly. A solid choice for budget shoppers.
Overall, the experience has been rewarding. With a bit of patience and knowledge, you can find amazing deals and save a lot of money. Happy shopping and a prosperous New Year!
