In recent years, cross-border shopping has become increasingly popular, especially for shoe enthusiasts looking to purchase limited-edition sneakers like the New Balance 574. Since TaoBao offers competitive prices, many international buyers turn to purchasing agents like AcBuy, a China-based forward and reverse proxy shopping platform. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of buying through AcBuy while introducing a useful tool—Find's Spreadsheet—to find authentic listings on TaoBao.
Begin by signing up on AcBuy's website (www.acbuy.me). The registration process is straightforward—provide an email address and create a password, or sign up using your Google/Facebook account.
Unlike standard shopping platforms, TaoBao is entirely in Chinese, which complicates navigation for non-native speakers. To simplify the search, use Find's Spreadsheet, a curated list of legitimate sneaker sellers. Simply open the link and search for "New Balance 574" to discover verified stores with customer ratings.
Once you've identified the desired product URL from the spreadsheet or TaoBao, copy the link and paste it into AcBuy’s "Purchase For Me" page. Specify preferences—color, size, and shipping method—and submit the order. AcBuy's team will review your request within hours.
After receiving the invoice, complete payment via PayPal, credit card, or other supported methods. AcBuy will handle TaoBao purchases while offering warehouse consolidation if multiple items are ordered. Check their TOS
Choose from available shipping options (DHL, EMS, or SF Express). AcBuy helps declare customs-friendly values to minimize fees. Track parcels in real-time via their dashboard.
For first-time buyers hesitant about navigating TaoBao, consider testing a low-value item before committing to premium sneakers.
