Great marketplace in the past
When online retail wasn't so developed, I ordered stuff here, reselling it to people in my area. This is how I got engaged into online business when this notion was considered to be something innovative and unique. Nowadays nobody is surprised when you say that you buy clothes on one platform and then resell it to people. It's usual. But back in the day... like 10-15 years ago... Taobao really was my good partner even thought I am not fond of Chinese. It's still a great marketplace, actually.
