How to Buy from Ruten Taiwan (露天拍賣)

Shop Ruten Taiwan (露天拍賣) effortlessly with Com&Buy. We handle local purchases, communicate with sellers in Mandarin, and ship internationally — perfect for collectors and hobbyists seeking rare Taiwanese products.


Ruten Taiwan


Ruten Taiwan (露天拍賣) is one of Taiwan’s biggest online marketplaces — a go-to platform for local sellers and collectors offering everything from rare vintage items and electronics to handmade crafts, fashion, and local specialties. It’s a paradise for hobbyists and shoppers who love discovering unique finds that aren’t available anywhere else.

However, buying directly from Ruten Taiwan as an international shopper can be difficult. The site is entirely in Traditional Chinese, payments are restricted to local methods, and most sellers do not provide overseas shipping. That’s where Com&Buy makes things easier.

With Com&Buy’s Buy For Me service, you can shop freely from Ruten without worrying about language barriers or payment restrictions. Our Taiwan-based team handles the entire process — from communicating with sellers to purchasing, receiving, and shipping internationally. You get to enjoy Ruten’s wide product range with complete convenience and peace of mind.

What is Ruten Taiwan (露天拍賣)?

Ruten Taiwan is a major C2C (consumer-to-consumer) and B2C (business-to-consumer) marketplace, created through a joint venture between PChome — Taiwan’s top e-commerce company — and eBay. Much like eBay or Yahoo! Auctions, Ruten provides a platform where local individuals, small businesses, and professional sellers can list and sell products to buyers across Taiwan.

The site is well known for its mix of brand-new, pre-owned, and rare products. Whether you’re a collector searching for discontinued items or a shopper looking for good-value local products, Ruten offers a wide variety that’s hard to find elsewhere. Many sellers use it to reach niche markets, while buyers use it to discover unique or limited-edition items unavailable on international platforms like Shopee or Amazon.

Popular product categories on Ruten include:

  • Collectables and vintage items – Rare figures, cards, toys, and memorabilia.
  • Electronics and gadgets – Local electronic parts, retro devices, and accessories.
  • Fashion and accessories – Boutique fashion, handmade jewellery, and Taiwan-based designer brands.
  • DIY and hobby parts – Components, tools, and materials for crafts and hobby projects.
  • Books and media – Out-of-print books, magazines, and media collectables.

In short, Ruten functions as Taiwan’s version of eBay — a marketplace full of niche and hard-to-find products that attract both collectors and general buyers. However, since the platform caters mainly to local users, international shoppers often face challenges such as:

  • The website interface is in Traditional Chinese only.
  • Payment options are limited to local methods such as Taiwan bank transfer or convenience store payment.
  • Most sellers do not offer international shipping.

For this reason, using a trusted local agent like Com&Buy is the easiest way to access Ruten. We bridge the gap by handling local communication, payments, and logistics on your behalf — allowing you to shop confidently and conveniently from anywhere in the world.

Why Buy from Ruten with Com&Buy

Ruten Taiwan stands out as one of Asia’s most vibrant marketplaces for collectors, enthusiasts, and shoppers who appreciate authentic and hard-to-find items. Many Ruten listings are exclusive to Taiwan — meaning you won’t find them on global marketplaces such as Shopee, Lazada, or AliExpress.

For international buyers, this makes Ruten a valuable source for rare and specialised products, including secondhand collectables, local designer brands, and discontinued goods. However, most sellers on Ruten only cater to local buyers, which limits access for those outside Taiwan.

That’s why using Com&Buy is the easiest and most reliable way to shop from Ruten. With our Buy For Me service, you can:

  • Access thousands of unique Taiwanese products that are not available internationally.
  • Buy rare collectables, vintage electronics, limited-edition goods, and niche hobby items safely.
  • Skip the challenges of Traditional Chinese websites and local-only payment systems.
  • Enjoy transparent pricing, reliable updates, and complete control over your purchase.

Whether you’re a casual shopper or a collector looking for exclusive finds, Com&Buy helps you connect with trusted Ruten sellers and brings Taiwan’s local marketplace straight to your doorstep — all without the usual language or payment obstacles.
