    taobao(mainland china) and taobao(worldwide) are 2 completely different things, imo taobao(worldwide) is just another aliexpress

      Just another? Taobao is the mainland version, aliexpress the international. Both are the same company, alibaba.

        The china version of aliexpress is 1688. Taobao has an international version as well, though I don’t see the point tbh.

      Afaik you need to set up a separate storefront on AliExpress catering to international buyers, but there’s no such requirements for Taobao even on the “international” website. It’s just set up as a convenience for people browsing the site from overseas, and also provides support for foreign currency payments, but other than that it’s up to the seller to manage everything.
