INFO on Taobao - Countdown timer & Extending it

- The countdown timer (beside each of your paid item) - once it lapses, your payment will be release to the seller.

- You can extend it by clicking into 订单详情 -> 延长收货时间 (just copy from here and ctrl f to find it if you don't know where).

- Inside 延长收货时间, you can select how long more you wanna extend it. 

- It will add on to current

- Take note that you can only do this extension when the timer shows less thn 3days.

- Take note that you can only do this extension once (You may however seek seller to execute extension on his/her end if you need further extension after the above extension).

- You may want to extend the time especially when you feel like adding additional items to your shipment to make it more worthwhile because you just realized the shipment is just slightly over the 500g or 1kg.

I have decided to provide FREE Taobao purchasing guidance to non-chinese speakers like the Malay Indian ethnic group & so on, but of course at my convenience and time, so contact me (:

(PS: I can help you make the purchases if there aren't too many)

(SOLVED!) Here's how to solve Taobao system's busy error 淘宝问题；系统太忙了，的解决方法

Facing the above? Do the following:
- reduce the number of items in your cart (i.e. cart out less items).

If the above (which work most of the time) did not work for you, then,
- one of the items in your cart is the problem, find it and remove it/replace with another seller - more hassle but it works :)
