Most probably is because the item cannot be shipped to Malaysia using the official forwarder. Try to look for other third party forwarder out there.

Anyone has experience with refund? Must one really need an alipay account to get the refunded amount back? Getting your alipay account verified seems impossible without a china bank account.

Getting your alipay account verified seems impossible without a china bank account. Even with a china bank account, you still need a working china mobile no.
