Title: LITBUY app to order directly from Taobao
Post by: planet_sammy on January 26, 2026, 01:31:22 AM
Hello everyone,

has anyone in the forum already used the LitBuy platform (app + Discord) to order directly through an agent in 1688 or TaoBao?

Greetings, Sammy

Yeah, I was on a business trip to China in October and I bought a truckload of stuffs from Taobao. Saved a ton of money.

I'm also thinking about buying some Li-Ning shoes (Red Hare 8 Pro and Challenger 5) from LITBUY at Taobao – they're currently circulating as a hidden gem on social media and are considerably cheaper on Taobao than discounted ones on Aliexpress.

My go-to agent to buy from Taobao is Superbuy. Used them for the past 10 years and they always provide good quality pictures and use tax free lines to Europe. But do wait until the Chinese new year is over to order.

Do you have a hint how to search? The results are all trash even if search for something easy like "SRAM AXS".

Create an account and search directly on TaoBao. Mobile app search doesn't really work. Webpage search is good, image search is best.
When you find the item, paste the Taobao link to your agent and let them buy it or if you want cheaper, get the agent's address and order directly on Taobao to your agent's warehouse. They will provide the same QC pictures and service if you order direct from Taobao.

If you live in the US, Canada, Australia or some Asian countries, Taobao can handle shipping from their own warehouse, but there is a risk of no QC pictures and low chance of a return/refund (your agent can return the items if you don't like them).

Anyone have a trick how do register on taobao to search? Superbuy & litbuy search only delivers crap results.

Be careful buying Magene PM from Taobao, they have a regional lock on some of their products.

I bought a Thinkrider PP5 Spider from Taobao though, no issues. Shipped direct to me Australia. As well as a few other bike products.
