Copy the part of the link that look like this.

but what you are interested is only the part highlighted in red
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.w4018-3148293447.5.e5n4Ox&scm=1007.168.0.0&id=36651728701&pvid=a27df44f-1cb2-4a67-8c9c-4da429c0ba1c&jlogid=p041408371114d
Delete the rest of the link to make it look like the first link on top.

Copy the link and post on your chosen agent's thread or PM them, depending on the agent's preference which usually is stated on the first post.
Ask them to quote you the price of what you want. Sometimes the item you want have different type/colour. In which case you need to tell the agent what you want by simply copy and paste your preferred choice.

"Can someone help me? I don't know how to read Chinese" excuse.
Use Google Chrome pls. I am a banana, don't know how to read Chinese, but I've made over RM1k purchases from Taobao already through an agent.
The wonders of Google Chrome.

When you ask quotation from the agent, show the agent the link to your item, state what you want, what colour/type if any, the quantity and where your location is, eg, Selangor, Penang, Melaka, etc.
Ask several agent at once, so you can compare the price and an idea as to how long each agent can respond to you.

When the agent respond to you, usually they will tell you the price with the calculation and estimated shipping charge or they will tell you the link is broken or something.
If you are satisfied with any agent, ask them for the payment detail. You don't need any credit card or paypal or debit card, you can just bank in/transfer money to their bank account and show them the receipt/screenshot of the transaction and also tell them your shipping detail, full name, address, phone number.
Then the agent will show you a tracking page for you to see if the item(s) you purchased are in their warehouse already or not. When it's there, the agent will inform you, along with the total amount you have to pay for the shipping charge (based on weight/volumetric weight)
Once you have paid the 2nd payment, the agent will proceed to forward the parcel to you and will give you a tracking number along with the shipper's tracking site to track your parcel's whereabout.
You wait for it.
If after 2 weeks still nothing, just politely ask the agent to check on the status or check with the local shipping company if it has reached Malaysia.

Phew...
