China's e-commerce giant Taobao offers a massive selection of products, including rare and affordable sports jerseys. However, international shoppers often face hurdles like language barriers, payment restrictions, and shipping complexities. This is where AcBuy, a reliable Chinese proxy purchasing platform, comes in handy. In this guide, we’ll walk you through buying an authentic-looking Babe Ruth baseball jersey
Unlike traditional forwarders, AcBuy specializes in verifying product authenticity and negotiating purchases between suppliers and overseas customers. Their platform features:
Use Taobao’s search bar with keywords like "Babe Ruth jersey vintage""New York Yankees throwback shirt". Sort by sales volume to find reputable vendors. For curated budget options, refer to this product comparison spreadsheet, which lists verified sellers with price points ranging from $25–$80.
After copying the Taobao product URL, create an account on AcBuy’s website and paste the link into their order form. Specify size, color, and quantity in the notes. AcBuy handles communication with Chinese sellers directly.
Unlike personal Taobao accounts requiring Alipay, AcBuy accepts PayPal or international credit cards. They’ll provide a total including domestic shipping (to their warehouse) and estimated proxy service fees (~5-10%).
Once the item reaches AcBuy’s facility, they’ll share QC photos via email. Approve these, then select a courier (DHL, FedEx, etc.). Transit times vary from 3-14 days.
Taobao sellers often run discounts for bulk purchases. If you’re part of a baseball fan group, consider using AcBuy’s group buy feature
