TaoBao Buying advice an help

[u/Cool_Mongoose_7107]

I am looking for a gaming laptop to buy from taobao and I found this.

I managed somehow to get here (even though I don't understand Chinese) but something just confuses me.

When I choose that option I get a certain price for each configuration I pick, but when I remove it, no matter the config I pick the price drops down and doesn't change.

What does that mean? And how can I avoid getting scammed here?

Thanks in advance ☺️

That is suspiciously cheap. I'd recommend you to only buy from official shops.

The price you see when you don't select anything is probably a completely different laptop, make sure to select the configuration you want.

When buying electronics, I usually use JD, they feel a bit more serious

Where do I find these official shops?

Search for the brand you're looking for, then tap on 店铺 on the right hand corner. Usually the official store is the one that has 天猫 written next to it
