Q: How to buy Stuffs online at Taobao??
If there is an English website for us foreigners , it will be convenient~
The first step in getting an Alipay (支付宝) account is acquiring a bank account. This really requires a minimum of fuss as it only takes about 15 minutes to open an account at a bank after braving the queues. All that is needed is a passport and maybe a little help in interpreting the form, plus a small amount of money for starting up the account. China Construction Bank even has its own Alipay debit card which means that users don’t need to even go to the (minimal) trouble of registering online with Alipay.
Once you have your bank account, armed with your passport number, mobile phone number, email address and a little patience you can go to the Alipay registration page https://www.alipay.com/user/user_register.htm.
