Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some Taobao/Tmall products temporarily unavailable in search?

Our supported product search coverage is gradually expanding.

As purchase volume grows on the platform, the system will continue to expand coverage of Taobao/Tmall products.

At this early stage, some Taobao/Tmall products may not be searchable yet.

If you already have the product link or image, you can still submit a manual purchase request and our team will review it for you.

Why is the GuaBase product price slightly different from the Taobao/Tmall page?
GuaBase does not mark up product prices shown in our purchase system. Taobao/Tmall front-end prices may include flash promotions, member prices, coupons, regional pricing, or account-specific offers, so displayed prices can differ slightly. The final product price is confirmed at the time of purchase.
How long does international shipping take?

Shipping times depend on destination, postal code, and customs processing. As a reference, our primary carrier SF International typically offers:

  • SF Express (International Standard): ~5-10 business days
  • SF Economy (International Economy): ~7-20 business days

Business days exclude pickup day, weekends, and public holidays.

How is chargeable weight calculated?

Chargeable weight is the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight.

Volumetric formula: L × W × H (cm) / 5000.

Does shipping include duties and taxes?
No. Duties are not included; local customs may charge fees upon delivery.
Why does my total shipping cost change after I pay?

Cross-border orders use a two-step payment flow:

  1. Pay for the product and the seller's domestic shipping first.
  2. Once items arrive at our warehouse, we measure and weigh the package; you then pay international shipping based on the final chargeable weight.

Carriers may apply surcharges (e.g., fuel or remote area fees) when required.

What payment methods are supported?
We support GuaBase Wallet balance, PayPal, and CoinPal (when available). CoinPal is billed in USD and includes a 1% handling fee.
Can I cancel or request a refund?
Cancellation or refund depends on the purchase stage and seller's outcome. In many cases you can cancel before purchase; after purchase, refunds follow the seller's return/refund policy and processing time.
