About Us

China Tradition Shop tries its best to provide you with the typical traditional Chinese items, most of which are pure handicrafts. They represent the ingenious handiwork, long history and diverse culture of ancient China, and can be used as exquisite decorations and gifts other than their own functions. We collect them from historic areas such as Sichuan, Shandong, Beijing, Shanxi and Tianjin that cultivate folk arts of sorts within distinct local environments.

• Why we are a better choice to satisfy your needs if you are searching for traditional Chinese items to purchase online? 

1. We are as passionate as you about Chinese culture, and we are proud of it being Chinese.
2. We are located in US, China (Sichuan, Shandong, Beijing...), thus to be able to communicate with you conveniently and collect genuine local folk arts with reasonable prices.
3. We look for simple, sincere and satisfied transactions as much as you do.
4. Honesty is our #1 rule.
5. We try our best to ensure customer satisfication and product quality.

• What makes our products special?

          Most of our items are hand-made by local folk craftsmen with high delicacy, compared to other made-in-China products from mass production. In fact, many of them suffer the danger of extinction because few people would like to invest time to learn those skills.

• Why not open an ebay store now?

          As you may know, one can still sell on ebay even if she or he does not open a store. Considering that the store acts as a warehouse by and large and the cost is not trivial ($15.99 for a basic store per month), we think that Google's Blogger is a better place to list all of our collections for the following reasons:

1. Blogger is free. So there is no element of store cost reflected in our prices.
2. Blogger is more flexible to display our products. We have more options (video, for example) to vividly describe an item.

• How is our ebay-Blogger system working?

          We keep listing and alternating our representative items of each kind on ebay, and the whole collection is here on Blogger. If the listed item on ebay does not satisfy you, you can come here for more choices.
          All transactions are via ebay, to protect our mutual benefits. So if something that you want to buy is not listed on ebay, please just contact us via email (chinatraditionshop@gmail.com) and we will list this item on ebay and make it ready for you to place the order.

• What if I know nothing about the meaning those folk arts are representing?

          Do not worry about it at all! We will do more than just merely describing the product itself. Say, we will show you or link the historical and cultural background of each item, what certain logo or design  means
and how Chinese people usually use them. With the aid or picture and video, this could be even more fun!
                             
We cherish the opportunity to do business with you. If you have any other question or suggestion, please do not hesitate to let us know, and we will be here to assist you to get the right Chinese folk arts. Look forward to seeing you soon!
