Q: I want help buying off Taobao

I remember some time ago some expats in the know-how here mentioned they wanted to engage in business whereby they will order things off Taobao and arrange delivery for a small fee on top of the purchase price. Is this still going on? Tarh!

I never heard any more from that, but if you google Taobao English you will see services that do this. There is also an English version of taobao I think, I don't know how good it is though.

The best way is to ask a Chinese friend to help you.

A:I had a similar experience in HK.

I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski. ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ...
