Title: Annoyed and Frustrated about Taobao....
Post by: Twilight Pink on October 17, 2016, 12:58:05 AM
I literally just wasted 2 hours just trying to navigate taobao in search of the new reboot MLP figures...all I want it Celestia. I can't speak chinese, there's no "search by image" function that people talk about and typing up any variation of "my little pony", google translating it and putting it in the search box doesn't work at all!!! I either get random cosplay junk or no pony items at all :/ and on top of that I have to have some sort of weird code just to even view an item!! I don't have the space on my mobile devices to get another useless app, and I don't want to create an account for it just to be used ONCE.
All I want is this:
Spoiler
visitors can't see pics , please register or login *mlpmerch or just Celestia herself
Is that too much to ask for?
Is there a kind soul who understands taobao's madness or better yet, resides in China and has access to this figures that can help me obtain her??? Please PM me, we can work something out!!! ;)

Those sets are actually listed on Ebay from Chinese sellers, I found the one you're looking for by searching 'Princess Celestia & Fluttershy'.
If you want just Celestia loose than Taobao may be the only place selling them individually. I've only used taobao once, because of postage costs I wouldn't do it again unless the item never got a full release.
Hope this helps ^.^

You didn't pm, so I assume you figured out how to order her.

I just search "my little pony" in English, a lot of listings have the English brand name in the title.

Once I figured out how to set up my account - Taobao was my best friend. You can search for things in English but you get better results if you can search using Chinese. Luckily for me, I just happend to live/work in China at the time.
