Buying Service
A Personal China Buying Assistant (Not an Automated Platform)
I provide a personal, human-based buying service for international buyers who want to purchase from Chinese marketplaces.
Unlike automated platforms, I personally help you:
- Understand the product
- Communicate with Chinese sellers
- Check product risk and condition
- Arrange purchase inside China
- Inspect items before shipping
This is especially useful for Xianyu (Goofish), second-hand items, collectibles, and unclear listings.
Platforms I Can Help With
I can help you buy from:
- Taobao
- Tmall
- 1688
- JD.com
- Pinduoduo
- Xianyu
- Dewu / Poizon
- Qiandao
- Vipshop
- Weidian
- Douyin Shop
- more…
How It Works
Step 1 — Send What You Want
You can send:
- Product link
- Screenshot
- Image
- Or just an idea
If you don’t have a link, I can help you find it in China.
Step 2 — I Check the Product (Very Important)
I personally review:
- Seller reliability
- Product condition
- Market price in China
- Risk level
- Whether it is worth buying
For Xianyu items, I may contact the seller directly in Chinese.
Step 3 — You Receive a Clear Quote
You will receive a simple breakdown:
- Product cost
- Domestic shipping in China
- Service fee
- Optional inspection fee
- Estimated international shipping
No hidden charges. Everything is confirmed before purchase.
Step 4 — Purchase & China Delivery
After confirmation:
- I place the order in China
- The item is shipped to my local address
Step 5 — Real Product Inspection
When the item arrives, I personally inspect it:
- Product photos
- Package condition
- Accessories check
- Video (if needed)
- Function check (if possible)
This reduces risk before international shipping.
Step 6 — International Shipping
After your confirmation:
- I consolidate packages if needed
- I repack for safety if needed
- I arrange international shipping
You receive tracking information.
