i believed everyone is very familiar with Taobao, one of the top China online shopping platform; a medium where you can basically look for almost anything and everything you need, from clothing to gadgets and even home furnishings!!! talk about shopping from Taobao, consumers do not exactly check out with only one item. we usually ended up checking out with chunks and chunks of items because they are simply SO CHEAP!!!
despite it being unbelievably cheap, there too are some drawbacks from shopping with Taobao. if you happened to be a "banana" (do not know Chinese) like me, you may have the same thought like i do. whereby it is so difficult to browse through the website because everything is written in Chinese. even looking for the search bar is a tough task..-_-
and due to that i rarely shop from Taobao simply because navigating it is typically impossible for me..:(
but this new shopping platform that i am featuring today is worth checking out for!!! especially for those of you who think Taobao is too Chinese-sy for you to use *LOL!!!* - ezbuy
ezbuy is known as the Malaysia Taobao. so when i said this is a Taobao inspired platform, it means this is exactly the same as Taobao but different from Taobao as well *LOL!!!*.
how does ezbuy similar with Taobao
- goods are priced at the same rate as Taobao, just that all price are displayed in Malaysia currency (MYR).
- all goods are being shipped from China, so rest assured you will be getting your items exactly like shopping from Taobao.
how does ezbuy differ from Taobao
- ezbuy is user friendly whereby this platform is displayed in English, the universal language for everyone's convenience.
- ezbuy also offers different sales/promotions from time to time to maximize user shopping experience
- there is no additional agent fee involved, in fact shipping fee is unbelievably low!!!
when it comes to shopping online, simple and user friendly navigation is essential to cater different types of shoppers, ezbuy provides easy-to-understand navigation whereby shoppers can easily direct to the items they desired through the different categories displayed on the main page.
there are variety of products on ezbuy, ranges from fashions, gadgets, accessories, home decorations, and many more. ezbuy ensures you that what you can get from Taobao is also available for you on ezbuy.
so how cheap is ezbuy compared with other online platform? i have found the exact same apparel from one of my favourite online shopping website, and i just cannot resist to make them sit side by side and compare.
look at it!!! RM13.18 from ezbuy and RM39.00 from another website!!! *eyes dropped..jaw dropped* wise consumer just know the calculation!!!
ezbuy have just the right item at the right price!!!
if you are a regular shopper of Taobao, you should be aware that you needed a middle person or an agent to deal with your Taobao shopping, hence there will be some sort of 2-5% agent fees involved. aside from that, you will too need to pay certain amount of shipping fees of your total purchase in order for your goods to reach you.
come to think of it, there is actually additional spending just for all the fees and charges.
however, with ezbuy there is no agent fee charged and the shipping fee is extremely low with only RM4.50/500g!!!
on top of that, if you are a heavy shopper, you should also check out the Prime service offered by ezbuy. Prime is a subscription based membership program with only RM188 PER YEAR. this membership allows you to shop with the minimal shipping fee of RM8.80 for unlimited parcel size and weight.
