Q: Can I use my Chinese bank account to do domestic shopping from overseas?
I returned to Australia a few months ago but kept my CCB account open. When I left, I was told that I could continue using it to do online purchases on sites like Taobao through the USB tool. However, I just tried to complete a purchase and it doesnt seem to work. Anyone tried or have ideas?

Yes,You can ,but it seems kinda complicated,and you'd better speak Chinese when you talk to them ,it's more convenient ,plus Most people can not speak English,I noticed a lot of shops from Taobao shows that they can deliver the goods to overseas. I bet the freight would be pretty expensive.
Good luck.
have you been purchasing items when you where here before? if yes and if only do u want to purchase articles located in china then its possible, but if you want to use the account to buy thinks from outside china then you must first connect your online bank services to PayPal, then you can go on purchasing whatever you want in any part of the world but notice that delivery fee might be quite expensive, good luck
