Harriet runs a shopping service (for friends only) for Taobao. It's a website from China that works pretty similar to eBay. Auctions, stores and the works. They also have a payment system like PayPal, but it is not as friendly for foreigners. Thus requiring a shopping service ;D.

Stuff on Taobao are generally cheaper, as we know everything is "made in China". It's a shopper's paradise! Almost everything can be found on Taobao. We even tried searching for cars! ;D Recently, Harriet's dad is addicted to it. He keeps bugging Harriet to help him buy XXX and YYY from Taobao......

Cheap as the stuff maybe, but the shipping is not always is, especially outside of China. It's still within reasonable range to ship to Hong Kong, but in many instances, the shipping cost almost as much as the good itself. Moreover, the Chinese yuan is stronger than the Hong Kong dollar and many currencies. Taobao is actually getting more and more expensive! nuuuuuuuuuuuu!
