Try to use one of your Chinese friend's numbers or have them assist you with it. After that, I'm sure you can change it from that number to your new one (since people get their phones stolen all the time, etc)

It's probably not Taobao that is rejecting your number it could be that you just put the number in wrong or misread the instructions. Try more than one number and just for a test if the other number doesn't work than it could be the system they are using at Taobao that is causing this. If the problem persists just try to contact someone that is in charge of that site and have them walk you through the process to get started.

It is a very good and useful question for foreigners who want to use taobao,and pay online!

You need to go to china unicom or china Mobil to register with your passport first , then you can register in tao bao. In case , tao bao worker still say cannot register, then you have to tell china uni com or Mobil that you want to to use taobao. They can fix it .laugh

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
