How exactly does using a Tao Bao proxy work? Do you have to find the item first? And how do you do that without understanding Chinese?

You have to find the item yourself, but on TaobaoFocus, the website was offering a basic translation to help you order the correct color or size for exemple. I suppose other sites do too.
You pay to get the item to them, they picture, confirm, and make you pay final shipping.

Might someone be able to help me find these? I did try to use the basic translation as suggested above, but I just can't find them. The best I can find is a rainbow set of lasered caps.

Do you know for certain that Tao Bao stocks them?

I am not sure, but this guy has them, so asking him might work https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74051.msg1816076#msg1816076

Some people in the discussion on MD seem to indicate that they are listed there.

Thanks, seth. I PM'd that person to see if they can provide some assistance.
