I’m talking about reading the reviews, looking at the ratings for both the product and the seller, checking to see how long the seller has been doing business, etc. You can also contact the seller directly if you have any specific questions or doubts you wish to clarify.

The cost of shipping does depend on where in Malaysia you are and what your preferred shipping method is. Once you are satisfied with the charges, just follow the onscreen prompt to make payments through Alipay.
If you don’t have an Alipay account, you will be asked to enter your password and create one. But once you do, you can just use your debit or credit card of choice. You should know that Taobao adds a 3% fee when you use an international card and your card issuer may also add a fee which you want to take note of.
