I would be grateful for a link, if one exists, to a detailed instruction describing in detail what this service is eaten with and which agent should be chosen for Russia.

Answer 1

Hello.
When I first ordered on taobao, I also thought about ordering without intermediaries.
But in the end I decided to use an intermediary. As it turned out later, he did the right thing.
It is very important to have an account where the money will be returned in case of an unsuccessful purchase.
On taobao, there are a huge number of both conscientious and not very good sellers, there are those who do not update prices or quantities. And in general, they can send you not the product that you ordered, but another one (moreover, not out of evil intentions, but only because they consider it exactly the same).
Also, a tangible plus is that the intermediary can take a picture of the goods before sending them from China. And if something with the goods is not as you imagined, then the issue can be resolved at this stage, and this is a significant cost savings.
So I advise you to use an intermediary. Moreover, there are those who have a small commission, and there is almost no minimum threshold.
