The most recent update has completely screwed up the image search feature on this app. I’ve been using the taobao website for several years now, and only just tried out the app earlier this year. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much smoother it runs compared to the browser site. For a person whose only language is English, and with lots of help from a translation app, I myself find this app very easy to navigate and it is in fact one of my favorite apps/websites to shop on. I’ve had no problems with this app until the most recent updates, and I have to say that it’s both disappointing and frustrating. The image search feature on here was one of the best I’ve ever used as well as being the most helpful tool for me, especially due to the language barrier. I have, on countless occasions, been able to find the exact items I was looking for, just from the reverse image search all on it’s own because of the notice to detail. Unfortunately, with the recent update, the reverse image search has been reduced to a very diluted version of its previous superior quality. I really hope that this will be addressed and corrected soon.

I love shopping 🥹 my wallet suffers though. Great for finding hanfu 🥰If you keep getting banned, their security is uselessly strict so you shouldn’t change your IP too much. Avoid logging in at different places/devices because they’ll see it as a security breach on your account. You will need to ask your friends currently in China to purchase everything you want on their account and then pay them back. Probably delete the app before going to China and then pick up your stuff, or just have your connection in China send them to you overseas. It will take a month or two. Security is uptight like wechat tbh, but even harder to recover on taobao. Living in the US requires patience with taobao. It’s good to know people in china for this app. As for the other stuff, I’m not expecting a whole lot from them since I was able to access my own secure method for shopping.
I put in a US phone number for my package, it was the worst mistake of my life.

I had to contact support over sixteen times to get my issue resolved. It was extremely frustrating such an issue of a “wrong phone number” caused me so much stress. I put in my US phone number instead of my Hong Kong number. Apparently, that causes the shipment to fail. Why does it even provide that option if it doesn’t work!? It took talking to 13 people to finally tell me that my package wouldn’t be able to be delivered to the pickup locker because of an incorrect phone number and I had to pick another destination. I was contacted by over five “specialists” that did nothing. The lack of communication was appalling, I was ghosted and left in the dark on multiple occasions. Customer support is friendly but useless. I still have two other packages to resolve this issue with and I am not looking forward to it. This experience has soured my overview of Taobao and I will never purchase another product from Taobao again. It never told me I couldn’t use a US phone number but that was the cause of my package not being delivered.So much stress from getting ghosted. My package eventually arrived to my friends place after I had left Hong Kong. It arrived but support is absolutely useless.
to help y’all usa people
prettyqueenx
so most of the reviews are of usa and not understanding ,but as a chinese, i’m here to help :) so if y’all don’t know, ¥ is chinese money but it’s different, 15 ¥ is one dolar, to cover THAT up , and if you want to add a item to cart , click the item, on the bottom you will see two buttons, left and right, but they are together, click on the left one (yellow i believe?) and choose the design you want of that item, if there is . but the right one (orange?) is to buy at once, hope this helped! but NO idea how to change language or the order thing for y’all . but that’s what i know. :)
