A Taobao "secondary account" refers to an account specifically used for purchasing items, not for selling. It is distinct from the ID used for store management. This type of account does not need to be linked to Alipay, nor does it require certification. When making payments, on the Alipay payment page, you can choose to pay via online banking instead of using the Alipay balance.
The secondary Taobao account is also known as a "Taobao buyer account."
Note: A Taobao secondary account is the login name for Taobao, not an Alipay account or store name. Do not confuse them.
When registering a secondary account, avoid making it too similar to your main account. Especially, do not add numbers like 1, 2, 3 after your main account name. You don't want everyone and Taobao to know that those accounts belong to you.
Should a Taobao secondary account be linked to Alipay?
No, it shouldn’t be linked. Also, there’s no need for ID verification.
How does one make payments with a Taobao secondary account?
Use online banking for payments. Don’t use the Alipay balance.
If I clearly bought something with my secondary account, why did it end up showing as purchased by my main account?
This happens because the main account's Wangwang (instant messaging tool) was opened. It is recommended to close Wangwang when brushing up on credit. Alternatively, use Firefox browser for the secondary account.
Will using the Taobao shopping cart reduce credibility?
No, it won’t. Whether or not you use the shopping cart has no effect on credibility. Using the shopping cart allows you to pay all at once, and evaluate purchases together or separately. It is recommended to use the shopping cart for physical goods.
When registering a Taobao secondary account, it is best to use either all English or all Chinese characters. Avoid adding numbers at the end. Often, short and common usernames are already taken, so you can register a slightly longer and more meaningful username, such as a short phrase. For example, in English: "singdie." You can also combine unrelated words, such as "sundayunix," "maycontrol." Another option is to create new words by randomly combining consonants and vowels, such as "phonicy." The underscore "_" can also be used frequently. If a username has been registered, adding an underscore in the middle may allow you to register it, such as "w_o_r_k."
For Chinese names, you can add geographical locations or common phrases, such as "Zhejiang traveler," "Beijing stars."
If you can't find a good username, you can use the system-suggested method of adding numbers, such as 1, 88, 2009, resulting in names like "bot_2009," "page_up88." Avoid using Chinese characters combined with meaningless letters, as many bots register such secondary accounts.
