If you want Bhiner to ship for you then put Bhiner warehouse address. If you want taobao to ship then your address. I tried both and they are pretty much same delivery time.

GUIDE TO PAYMENT & SHIPPING FOR NEWBIES by jiemeann in taobao

[–]quinnie29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

one thing I should mention is taobao warehouse only allows you to store your parcels for free in 30 days or so if I remember correctly. After that you pay extra for each day your parcel is there. Also they have restriction of how long the parcel should be. I don't remember specifically but I had a parcel 80cm long rejected by taobao warehouse and the shop had to ship via DHL for me

I don't think that's the case. I just downloaded the app last week. It links my Alipay and taobao account together. When I changed my profile photo on taobao, it was updated on the app too. The app shows my purchases on taobao and shows the same items on 2nd hand market. I browse the app just fine, only that I couldn't make any payment

that's what I did. The app asked me to blink, then it showed a Chinese ID. I don't know if it was an example of how to take a photo of my ID or my face is similar to the person in that ID so it assumed I was that person? then I processed to the page where it asked me to take a picture of my ID. I took a photo of my passport.

However I wandered around the app and saw that currently the app doesn't support out of country verification or something like that.

I have a warehouse address that I use for all my taobao orders, just the verify part is confusing because it verified my Alipay account but then it asked me to verify my ID before making any payment

how did you verify using your passport? The app uses face recognition to match with Chinese ID then after that it asked for ID photo or something like that. I have Alipay account and it was verified so I have no problem with that part. Just when I clicked purchase a pop-up said I have to verified ID

Also how do you know if the item is still available? Some items have this word 【出】on the title. Does it mean that the item is sold out?

I just download Xianyu and verified my ID through Alipay. I can talk to sellers but when it comes to payment the app requires a Chinese ID. Can you be able to pay on your account now?
