“Who needs a shopping center if you have Taobao?” says Wang Lin, a young writer in Shanghai.

Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site(网站), has become an important part of Wang Lin’s life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

Many Chinese Internet users like Wang Lin have got the fun of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop online than men. Clothing and home-use products(产品) are the most popular online.

It was reported that more than 1,260 billion yuan was spent on online shopping in 2012, and about 80% through Taobao.

Taobao means “looking for good things” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD, from flowers to cellphones. You may wonder if it’s safe to shop on the Internet. However, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and easy. Unless you receive the things from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the things.”
