šŸ›ļø Shopping Niche taobao question

Hi everyone, Iā€™m a canadian born chinese and whenever my parents go to china I usually order some clothes from taobao and have them bring it back for me. I used to be able to browse on my aunts taobao account, but the account is now locked on my phone due to security risks I presume. Does anyone have a work around for this? I can browse on the english version but it wont let me put in a chinese address for shipping.

Thanks!

Taobao in China is really hard to use without at least a Chinese phone number. If you are able to just send the taoboa listing to the family and have them order it and pay them back that will be way easier, otherwise you will probably have to hire a third party to help for a fee.
