Taobao is the largest Online Mall in China while Ebay is the largest one in USA. 

My question is that when we can sell the items from Taobao to other countries freely as USA people do on Ebay ?   Ebay and Paypal services in China are still terrible in China as we local Chinese cannot even withdraw any payment directly from Paypal account at present. Ebay charges much more than that of Taobao actually.

What is the largest Online Mall at your end? One of close friends is planning to sell some tradtional Chinese products online, but he does not know which platform is the best one and how to make it in the future. Any help would be highly appreciated.. [em1]

most American people use Ebay, so if you want to sell your things to USA, Ebay maybe the best choice.


However, Alibaba's Taobao is on the rise, so it may start to challenge American market soon.
