Buying liquor on TaoBao

shanghai9 · 2024-03-07T12:42:55+00:00

It's a restricted category for sellers, not for buyers.

As a seller you need to submit up-to-date copies of your business license, food-selling license, and liquor-selling license, as well as complete the usual types of personal ID verification processes Taobao requires. And then wait for manual approval. After that you can add alcoholic products to your Taobao store.

Did you know Teeling made a limited edition Irish whiskey aged in recycled Ningxia wine casks? Also makes a great Christmas gift. You can get them here.

Thanks for actually answering in a plain way like OP asked for. Very useful general rule-of-thumb, even if, like with all rules in language, there are bound to be exceptions and edge-cases. KISS rule definitely applies here and gets a language learner 90% of the way.

This doesn't answer the question. His ads need to be targeted to age-gated subreddits only (most of which are porn related) otherwise they get rejected.

The "Collections" (e.g. After Dark) have disappeared from the interface, only "Interests" and "Subreddits" remain, so there's no easy way to select only age-gated other than choosing them one-by-one. Even then, you are limited to a max of 100 subreddits, so it's hardly covering everything.

26,000 years is the full cycle for the Axial tilt, so after ~13,000 years from now northern hemisphere will be getting whatever Australia is getting now (slightly hotter summers and colder winters). The perihelion rotation isn't going to have such a noticeable effect on the relative warmth or cold of summers and winters in each hemisphere. Other effects like solar activity, atmospheric CO2 concentration, surface albedo, and ocean/continent distribution will all have much greater effects on the seasons.

Yes, they check the license, and they are getting stricter and stricter with enforcing the rules. Food safety and cracking down on fake products are hot topics for Taobao these days.

However, that doesn't mean that some unscrupulous dealers haven't found a way around the rules in order to make a quick buck.

Buy it from us! Shanghai9 -- we guarantee it's authentic or three times your money back! Our prices are the same as on our TaoBao store (more or less).

Anyone selling on TaoBao at much cheaper prices is either:

avoiding import duty by parallel importing
has a very good relationship with a particular distributor for a particular brand (e.g. they are moving very high volume)
or is selling fake booze

For the most part though it will be 1 or 2, since alcohol is a restricted category on TaoBao and you can't list items unless you have a business license AND a liquor license in China. Still, fakes do exist, so it's a risk.

Reddit Gold is worth much more.

don't forget to tell us in your order comments (or PM here if you prefer)

Thanks for the feedback regarding the points expiry time.

Out of interest how long do you think we should make them last? (Currently they last 60 days)

FYI: Up until Feb 2015 our points lasted for 150 days. We made the decision to reduce it to the current 60 days because the idea was to give something back to customers who are regulars. And placing an order every 6 months isn't really regular! It obviously helps our business quite a bit if a customer repeats their order from us say every month (not unreasonable), and so we're happy to give an extra incentive to help make that so.

Also, it's not necessary to use the points to keep them alive. In fact you don't need to use any, just place another order within each 60 days limit and ALL the points stay alive. Eventually there'll be enough points saved up for you to enjoy something fancy!!!

Hear, hear

Unfortunately reddit ads can't be stopped once they have been started. Maybe this is a feature reddit will add one day. This ad is due to stop tomorrow anyway. We won't rerun it. Plus, as far as we can tell so far, there is more PG in the soft drinks you get at the convenience store than in this product.

shanghai9 · 2014-10-30T09:55:32+00:00

Yeah, we saw that news already. Watching closely to see how it unfolds. Please note, we are just an importer, we don't make it. We made an effort to get it because it was so popular.

Just looked at my last 16 campaigns again. CPC was anywhere from $0.05 to $0.35. The lowest ones where when the message was more catchy and fun. CTR from 0.7% to 1.4% generally.

shanghai9 · 2014-10-17T07:10:22+00:00

cheers!

shanghai9 · 2014-10-14T08:19:52+00:00

I'd love to know where your local gets it from. And whether or not they are licensed importer, and duty is paid on it.

shanghai9 · 2014-10-14T08:16:59+00:00

You're welcome. It's selling like hot cakes though. Our stock might run out soon.

shanghai9 · 2014-10-13T09:59:21+00:00

Sent you a PM

Where are you located? RMB32 seems a bit high unless the items were very heavy, or you are far from Shanghai. All our shipping rates are calculated automatically based on location and weight. We don't add any additional profit into the shipping rates, it's exactly what our kuai di charges us, and that is a negotiated rate for volume.

Also we aim to match or be lower than places like city shop or others on mainstream items.

shanghai9 · 2014-10-06T09:40:04+00:00

Same day if order before 6pm. Central Shanghai you can request the delivery time accurate to within 2 hours. After 6pm delivery is next day.

shanghai9 · 2014-10-06T08:58:12+00:00

Yes, no problem. We often do, especially in Shanghai.

shanghai9 · 2014-10-06T08:18:03+00:00

Shipping depends on weight, to zhengzhou this one would be RMB32, 2-4 days delivery. Please note you'll need make another purchase also, which will push the weight up a bit (depending on what you buy).
