I was on a late night shopping Taobao binge, attempting to buy some delicious cereal from T-mall,
我昨晚在淘宝上的天猫想买点麦片,
I added them to my cart, went to checkout, clicked purchase…
把麦片放购物车里, 按了买,
DENIED
购物失败!
translation: your alipay account doesn’t have a chinese ID card linked, please try again with a different real name account (英文翻译)
? FUCK YOU TAOBAO, I CAN’T GET A DAMN CHINESE ID CARD ?
淘宝,我拿不到身份证!!!
if you think Expats should be able to get a shenfenzheng number, SHARE THIS POST!
帮我们外国人拿身份证,分享文章~
(P.S. == apparently this was because the ‘international’ tmall purchases require chinese ID card)
