Hi there,
so, I urgently need to buy some stuff from Taobao and Wowsai (wedding coming up...).
I can´t figure out how to get it done. I have tried (and failed) with the following:
- bought alipay card in 7/11, recharged, it showed the right amount but then the account balance hasn´t been updated. The help chat was not helping, I had to use google translate but she didn´t seem to understand the problem. Also sat down with a chinese friend and tried to recharge again, but it won´t accept the card since it has been used. So, gave up..
- tried to upload via http://www.ekeyhk.com/. Transferred 70hkd twice, uploaded the slip, all seemed fine, but account balance still the same, nothing has changed.. I have sent them an email but no reply so far.
- finally found a seller who sells what I need and accepts credit card. Yay! But.. the page at the end before I type in my data keeps spinning and spinning and spinning.. (tried various browser, no difference).
My last step is to get a BoC credit card but this might take a week or so and I´m running out of time.
Anyone had success with the above and / or has an idea what I could be doing wrong?!
Thanks so much in advance,
T
