Ratings and reviews

To be clear- I can read some Chinese. Can't pronounce it to save my life but I can navigate alright. My biggest complaint is the amount of "unusual traffic" notifications you get, presumably because my IP address is in the USA. It makes shopping so inaccessible to constantly have to do the slider, which doesn't work half the time. "Overseas" is a very broad category so I wonder if they're referring to the literal South and East Chinese Seas. I also always use a forwarding service.

The sellers are really friendly it is a chinese only app, so you're going to need Google Translate and also struggle a bit if you're trying to open an account in America but the fastest way to do it is through a Google account. But I love the prices and how it takes a visa or a Mastercard and even shows how much you have to pay in US currency while also making sure your transactions are secure. Also how fast the staff work too.

Pretty good, me and my friend find things that would go for 20 - 50 dollars on eBay for sometimes 6 - 50 dollars. Although just one issue, it's very hard to get though when you just want to browse, as your constantly asked to sign up, I can understand and I think it would really be useful if they added a feature to change languages (specifically to English)
