工具
对比总成本，而非仅产品单价

Key Insight: Don't Compare Unit Prices Alone!

关键提示：不要只对比单价！

A ¥50 product on Taobao ≠ $7 on AliExpress because:

Taobao: ¥50 product + ¥30 international shipping = $11.10 total
AliExpress: $7 product + $0 shipping (free) = $7 total
In this case, AliExpress is cheaper despite higher unit price!

淘宝上¥50的产品≠速卖通上$7的产品，原因如下：

淘宝：¥50产品+¥30国际运费 = $11.10总计
速卖通：$7产品+$0运费（免邮） = $7总计
在该案例中，尽管速卖通单价更高，但总成本更低！
