Is it worth getting an ezbuy Prime membership or should you just stick to buying directly from Taobao? Read on to find out how they fare against each other!

Xinman, our YouTrip Ambassador, shares her ezbuy Prime and Taobao experience!

We all probably asked ourselves this question before – is ezbuy Prime membership really worth it? On paper, it makes a lot of sense, paying a fixed subscription fee to cart out ALL items for only a $2.99 flat shipping fee.

However, have you realised that after you add Taobao items into your ezbuy Prime Wishlist for purchasing, suddenly the listing seems more expensive? 

For someone who moved house recently and bought ezbuy Prime thinking it’d be worth it to save money, I did a comparison and got my findings.

Here’s my detailed breakdown of buying through ezbuy Prime vs directly from Taobao – plus extra Taobao links if you’re interested to get what I’ve bought for my new place!
