Ever tried to check out Taobao, but couldn't make heads or tails of it?
We've just discovered Taobao Field Guide, a great piece of the web that's bent on demystifying China's eBay-like online shopping site. In their own words:
“Taobao has been crazy useful for us for several years. We’ve bought a ton of stuff, and discovered a ton more crazy stuff. But we discovered that our friend’s lives were not filled with Taobao. They were, in fact, filled with sadness.
That’s why we set out to rid the world of this terrible sadness by sharing the gift of Taobao.”
Get started with their guide to registering with Taobao. Once you've got the hang of bidding and buying things, see how useful their advanced tactics are.

Taobao is great. It's got everything.
I like the idea of recharging my mobile online.
Why does it seem like every time I search for something on Taobao, no mater what I search, it comes up with at least one adult product?
