Update:

I had some time to go to a wi-fi connection and mess around on my laptop.

Configured the Chrome browser for Chinese.

Found the Taobao and TaobaoTrends websites.

Was able to retrieve my account info.

Located only 1 vendor for the Zongshen badges.

It's about 4.50 for a pair, depending on the exchange rate at the time.

Then there's the agent fee, plus the shipping charge to the US, which may be as much as the badges.

Looks like it will be about $10 US to get a pair, won't know for sure until:

an order is placed,
the agent is paid,
agent orders from vendor
agent receives order from vendor
agent verifies that order is what the customer wants,
agent repackages order and notifies customer of shipping charges to US
customer pays agent the shipping charges
agent ships package to customer
in 10-14 days, if all goes well, customer receives package.

To add the the fun, Oct 1 - Oct 7 is the national Chinese Holiday week.

From what I was able to discern, nothing much businesswise happens during that time.
