Can I create a Taobao account without a Chinese phone number?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can create a Taobao account without a Chinese phone number. Taobao allows international users to register using phone numbers from many countries. All you need is a valid mobile number that can receive SMS messages, as Taobao will send a verification code during the registration process.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772274503477\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">2. Is Taobao available in English?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Taobao does not have a fully official English version. However, you can use browser translation tools, such as Google Translate, to navigate the platform and understand product listings. You can refer to this article for detailed information on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mulebuy.com\/blogs\/how-to-change-taobao-to-english\/\">how to change Taobao to English<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1772274524659\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">3.
