Has anyone tried buying stuff from Taobao? I made an account, and I'm kicking around getting one of Quadimension's Medium⁵ girls. Do I need an agent/forwarding service or Chinese address for download-only items? I figured a valid email and payment method would be enough, but I know China's got some wonky export laws, so I really don't know. I Googled a lot of stuff about ordering from it but there was no advice for downloads.

...maybe another good question to ask is, will the software work on the free English-language SynthV?

Just a side note, as far as I know SynthV will be getting big update so maybe it's better idea to wait for a little while and purchase that version.

When I buy Taobao, I use Superbuy as my forwarding service. It will do all the heavy work for you, all you gotta do is pay with Paypal really. They even send you a picture of the product when it gets to the warehouse to make surevit’s good. It’s probably the best forwarding service for Taobao imo

The one thing I want to mention about TaoBao is that, while there is legitimate stuff, there's also some bootleg stuff. Don't know if this pertains to software, but proceed with caution anyways. ^^

Just curious, for the case for Medium⁵, how about you could get all five of them instead of just one?

I would if i could. They're ~$80 a piece (and Xingchen is $90). I'm a college student who already has an impulse shopping habit and no one will hire me because of my recent and upcoming surgeries, so I can't risk spending $410 in one place without a reliable source of income.

My GOD is it tempting, though! I'd love all of them! :lapis_ani_lili:
