Step 1: Search for the Jersey on Taobao

Before contacting Hoobuy, identify the jersey you want on Taobao (www.taobao.com). Use keywords like "AC米兰 马尔蒂尼 球迷版球衣" (AC Milan Maldini Fan Version Jersey) or "复古 马尔蒂尼 球衣" (Retro Maldini Jersey). You may also reference a pre-compiled product list like this external spreadsheet

Step 2: Create a Hoobuy Account

Register on Hoobuy's website (www.hoobuy.com) by providing your email and shipping address. The platform supports multiple languages, making navigation easy for English speakers.

Step 3: Submit Your Purchase Request

After logging in, navigate to the "Purchase for Me" section and submit the Taobao product URL (or upload the product details manually). You will need to specify:

• Product Link:
• Size & Color:(e.g., "Size L, Home Kit Version 98-99")
• Budget Limit:

Step 4: Review Pricing and Processing

Hoobuy's team will verify the item's availability and provide a total cost estimate (including local shipping in China and international forwarding fees). According to the spreadsheet from sheet.cheap, authentic replica Paolo Maldini jerseys range from ¥150 to ¥400 (approximately $20–$55) before additional fees.

"Hoobuy's fee structure is transparent—expect a service charge of 5–8% of the item’s cost + international shipping based on weight."

Step 5: Confirm Payment and Shipping

Pay via Hoobuy's supported methods (PayPal, credit cards, or bank transfers), then wait 7–10 days for domestic delivery to Hoobuy's warehouse. They offer multiple shipping options (DHL, EMS, FedEx) depending on urgency and budget.

Optional: Quality Inspection for Knock-Off Risks

To avoid counterfeit products listed as originals on Taobao, request Hoobuy’s "Quality Check" service (¥10–¥20 extra). Agents will verify:

• Fabric authenticity (compared to genuine Adidas or Puma materials)
• Stitching quality on patches and numbering
• Correct Paolo Maldini squad number (3 or 19 for Milan jerseys)
