For anyone who thinks of buying from Jojojade, I would like to share my buying experience. All of the jade on their site is grade A to be sure, as I have personally brought my jade to a gem testing center for reinspection. However, the main problem is their products are overpriced, especially when you consider the fact that, as someone in the forum had pointed out a long time ago, the seller (Jeff) steals pictures from Taobao.com (a Chinese version of ebay) and posts them on his jojojade website. If you order an item, then he will directly use your money to order from taobao.com. This is to say that jojojade is the middleman, the taobao buying agent. For example, the last item I bought from jojo was a pendant, whose price on taobao (as I later found out) was around 550USD. Yet he sold the pendant to me at the price of 800USD! Eventually, my passion for jade and my frustration with jojo have motivated me to brush off on my Chinese. Now, I can search taobao and find the reputable Chinese sellers and then use the Wechat app to bargain with them, in Chinese!
Hi,
Thanks for this, now I am enlightened,
How do I buy from their web? because i don't speak or read in chinese letters,
I'm from the philippines, or if there is any alternate site, ithink aliexpress and taobao tmall are same right, can i buy it through aliexpresa but same seller?
