in this video I'm gonna show you how to
sell items in China using the platform
called idle fish or train you it is a
mobile application platform doesn't need
any deposits all you need is an a/d pay
account or a table account already
created and you're good to go
well let's get into it
so I broke down this video into two
parts the first part is gonna be me
showing you how to be a buyer in the
platform because this will show you the
process and get you familiar with the
whole platform because it is in Chinese
in the second part I'm gonna go through
step by step of how it will look like
when you actually sell something using
the platform of course the first step is
to download the application unfortunate
multiple versions but just search Twain
you on like Google Play Store or
whatever you may have to buy do it to
download the apk and you can see that
I'm already logged into the system cuz
this isn't my first time but I'm gonna
show you different ways to log in once
you have an ally pay or a tab all
account if you have no idea how to get
these you can follow these videos right
up here in my channel when I go through
step by step of how to create an ally
pay and at a bow account so I'm going to
log off really quick and show you what
screen is gonna show up when you use it
for the first time you can see a
different options here that you can
login using table or Ally pay so I first
selected a login using Taobao and you
can just see it's just gonna verify my
information on my mobile phone I just
continue and I'm logged in then I also
selected the Ally pay option and also
can verify the information my phone I
login Ally pain now I'm logged into the
system super easy to use something to
know is that all the information that
you put on Taobao will automatically be
transferred to Idol fish or any
addresses or payment methods will be
automatically added to this platform
because the same company controls Taobao
and idol fish but if you want to change
the address yourself you can simply
click on the Settings tool click on my
addresses and then look at the different
addresses that should be linked from
your table out you can also add
addresses if you don't have them now
from the buyers perspective under the
search bar you can look for three things
the first one is different items you can
just look for the item name the second
one in our groups associated with items
so if you happen to be like a DGI group
or something that sells drones you can
look at the groups and the last option
is to look for a particular seller that
already has an account and you know that
seller sells certain goods in this
example I'm is gonna search for Canada
and 50 just kind of walk you guys
through with how that's gonna look like
when you search for a Canada in 50
you'll get many options and you can just
select the one
best suits your needs in the next
example I'm gonna search for my friends
accounts because I'm gonna go through
step by step on how to go through the
whole process so here's my friends
account I know he sells a lot of anime
figures and I want to inquire about this
anime figure when I click on the anime
figure you can simply click on the
orange button to inquire about the anime
finger and the pricing in this example I
just say if the if 16,500 RMB is enough
he speaks English so I can type in
English but you're gonna have to type in
Chinese to get a response so now I'm
gonna go through the example buying
something from this person I know so I
selected one of their its routers that I
can select for five RMB if you want to
continue on with the payment just click
on the orange buttons it's gonna ask you
for your ally pay information you can
continue on with your payment and then
you go to this screen and this screen I
want you to pay particular attention to
the top it shows the whole process of
the delivery so right now you can see
that I've actually paid for the item my
friend is actually preparing to ship the
item so you can see I've received a
notification that the seller has already
shipped the item so I can just simply
refresh the page and it says the items
been shipped notice here that I can
select this button right here to say I
have received the item when you click
you have received the item you can see
the process on the top and continues on
where I can leave a comments or a review
you just simply leave a review or
whatever you want to say about the
experience and then you have
successfully finished the whole process
of buying the item but how do you sell
the item well I'll go into that right
now so you see this plus sign in the
bottom you can select the plus sign and
you'll get different options I'm gonna
focus on two options in particular the
middle one right here which is a sell
from something that you've bought in
Taobao and you maybe want to sell it
because you didn't like it and the
second option is to just sell anything
you have laying on the ground take a
photo or if you have photos of it using
the camera button right here the other
two options I'm not going to go deeply
into in most cases they won't apply to
you so in this example I'm just gonna
look at my table I'll history I selected
a table and I'm gonna look at this
statue right here and it automatically
populates the information that bought
from Taobao you can also add more
information like if it's brand new if
there are no refunds anything like that
to give then go back and put more in the
description
of the item you're trying to sell right
here I'm just gonna put blah blah as an
example and you can also change the
pricing by selecting this button right
here and you can decide if it's going to
be an auction or a specific price when
you're finished with the listing you can
simply click on the publish button on
the top right corner here and then
you'll get a notification saying that it
has been published so in this example my
friend is actually gonna sell something
live that we're gonna go through the
whole process so you start off waiting
the plus sign then you're gonna hit the
camera the cameras is either gonna go
into pictures in your library or you can
select to use your camera and take a
photo alive here you can write a
description of what you're selling
preferably in Chinese because this is
tailored towards the Chinese market once
you say exactly what it is and what
you're selling then you can go ahead and
set the price right here
something important to know about the
price is right here you put the price as
5 RMB however if you want to have an
auction you can put the starting price
down here and just select the starting
auction as for the shipping in the
bottom here you can select to put the
shipping price you can select that the
shipping is free or you can select for
tavill to directly calculate the
shipping based on your location and the
buyers location then you can move on
with the transaction so my friend simply
gonna click on publish and then there
you go he published what he is selling
and he can share on social media if he
wants to so when somebody does want to
buy the item they're gonna message you
and you're gonna receive a message in
the platform right here you can click
right here you can look inside the
message and you can see that this
person's already bought the item the
platform keeps your money until the
buyer receives the goods so you need to
send the goods and you can simply click
on this button right here to send the
goods after they have bought the item
you verify the person's address and your
address of where you're sending the
goods from if you don't know how to send
goods in China from your house because
that going to a post office check out
this video right here where I go through
step by step on how to send something
anywhere within China
I thought verify the information go to
the next step and it's going to ask you
to put the tracking information and you
just copy paste the tracking information
and
next step then in the platform rule says
I have already shipped the item the next
step is to wait until the item arrives
to the customer and they say I have
received the item you can see the
updates here that says the transaction
successful and this is where you can
leave a review and at this point is
where you actually receive the money for
the goods
so unlike eBay you don't receive the
money until the person has verified that
they have received your goods at the end
you can leave review for the buyer to
see how their experience was if they
were paying or they're easy to work with
and then you can continue on to your day
so you can see it's not that complicated
actually selling something I just want
to teach you guys how to use this
platform because it is free you don't
need to put a deposit like you do for a
table all store and it's super user
friendly want to get the hang of it I
