Use Wegobuy to convert links

Using Wegobuy and pasting either a Global or China Mainland or any other form of taobao links will get you a reliable page where you can buy right away.

Reasons to use World.taobao.com

The global site has servers outside of China, so it loads quicker. The way and order in which page elements load is also different, so there's a chance if you have loading errors this might fix it.

Global Taobao links sometimes have a chance to not work for the recipient when you share them. Also tools like the QC Suite only work for the China Mainland page.
