Taobao Vs Taobao agent

[achab1984]

I did not know that you could pick an agent?  I have the same person every time that I have ordered something.

Who do you use Avene1984?

Yes Stormwing I'm hoping we can figure this stuff out together

Have anypony bought directly from Taobao? Or used a Taobao agent to get your ponies? And if you bought directly from Taobao, is it reliable? Did you get your ponies?

I got my first pony in the mail yesterday. I have another big order coming in the mail. I do like being able to get them ponies on there that would cost me an arm and legs on ebay. But the only bad thing I do not like about it is the time difference. I can place an order and wait all day. Then go to be for the next day of work and then I get a message. I have missed out on some ponies three times now cause of it

I have the exact same problem and frustration!! I don't get how some people get in contact with their agents so quickly.

I know! I am able ready to give up with the ones that I have been trying to get. I see them all on ebay now. Someone is buying them all just to resell

You're out for G4 Minty? I'm out for G4 Minty too  she ain't gonna be easy to get, I'll tell you what...

[Lady Starflower]

If I spot a Minty I'm gonna try to get them all and then do like a bulk order thing. If anyone beats me to it please PM me hahaha I need this pony in my life

That Smurph300 (or whatever) buys them all and re sells on eBay! That kinda makes me really mad. I mean good for her if she's making a lot but its sad to me that collectors miss out because of re-sellers. Just my 2 cents

Hello everyone! Seems to be a few taobao topics lately! Well, I have another one of you guys and hopefully its a quick solution! I am caving and going to start using taobao agents. I see so much stuff I want from that website, not just mlp, so I would like to learn how to do it myself! I have been recommended Taobao Spree by a few members. I got all excited until I found out I dont have Microsoft excel! =O I dont have anything Microsoft.... no Word, Excel, Powerpoint, nothing! So I cant fill out the order form because I have to buy Excel to use it. I discussed this with my husband and he wont buy or let me buy Microsoft Office and the other little programs. Do I have to use the Excel to fill out/make my own order form? =(

Im sad because Im on the internet browsing often and I miss out on so many cool prototypes!I understand you wont get your item 100% unless your agent responds to it quick but its worth a shot trying! Id really love to start getting stuff from Taobao, I feel kind of left out! =P

I haven't used Taobao Spree, but have you looked at OpenOffice?  It's free, and they have an "OpenOffice Calc" program that is basically just Excel and lets you open and save Excel spreadsheets.

So somebody's buying these Taobao ponies, just for resale?   
Can they not be normal and sell it directly from the site?

That is the same one that I was thinking of. They got everyone of the ones that I have been trying to get to keep and not sell . Oh well I guess

I know what you mean. It's the fact that it does appear to be ALL of them as well. I mean, I've bought extras to fund my obsession, I mean collection, but only a couple. Unless I'm picking them up for people here of course, then I might order more but that's for people here at cost price So yeah, I get you on that one. Though I have bought from her too I won't miss out on these Taobao ponies

As long as the price is not INSANE, i dont mind coughing up some for ebay - but then again, im used to bying ponys for $10-15 + 15 shipping anyways - so $30 incl. shipping from China is not to bad if I really want it :p
