Hi Swee
Railways Bureau not accept booking train tickets in internet, only accept buying on the site. So people book in internet with some travel agency, which will buy tickets on the site and delivery to you when you arrivel in China, and always collect some fees. Cost between 20-30%. If it is popular section, it would rise to 50%.
